> Zone Alarm version 7.0.302.000

I used the update link in ZA but it didn't tell me i needed one.

I have found a link here - http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Firewall/ZoneAlarm-Free.shtml

I packed ZA in a while ago when it started playing up.
Just use the router and windoze firewall - seems ok so far touch wood.

I'm a router/avast man meself. Can't stand Win Firewall - I always disable it.

Why's that?  I never notice it.

WF only blocks  traffic one way so i have always used ZA & my routers firewall, belt n braces

I guess it stems from my early attempts at p2p and not being able to configure it properly, that and it only updates once a month, but by all accounts it's not all that good at catching stuff anyway - not so important if your router is a tight as a ducks I guess. The thing I like best about avast is that it updates at least once every day.

same here updated it from file hippo the other day cos Zone Alarm said no update

So did I, I did a test on my computer and it showed up secure.

AVG also updates  every day but i use the manual method rather than rely on the auto option, again belt n braces 

If you want to check your set up for security have a play here - https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Click the proceed button then use the file sharing,common ports & all service ports.

They should all show "stealth"

Try this leaktest see if your firewall is doing its job  LeakTest
