ZoneAlarm version 6.5.722.000 has solved the problems for most of the people
who use it, including myself.

I have been using ZoneAlarm combined with a Netgear router for several
years (currently ZA Security Suite 6.1.744) {Previously I used
Norton\Symantec but it became over complex and error probe and ZoneAlarm
was nice and simple with a free trial]
Hi All Firewall Users
Last month ZA released version 6.5 and I could not install it properly and
was left with all internet access blocked. I could not uninstall it and
had to revert to version 6.1 by restoring a total system backup image.
From the huge number of complaints in The ZA forums and obtainable by
Google search it looks like nearly 500,000 users were hit by this upgrade
just as if it were a virus. Help from ZA suggested a radical uninstall of
ZA, involving heavy registry editing. After doing this I reinstalled ZA
6.5 and the problems were identical.
While some ZA users have managed to install the 6.2 upgrade most have not
and in any case one has to ask whether it is reasonable to market software
which can only be kept up-to-date by dint of highly technical system
manipulation.
Have these security systems got just too complicated? Would it not be
better to have separate modules for firewall, antivirus and anti malware?
I am contemplating changing to the following configuration until Vista
come along
1 Firewall Microsoft
2 Antivirus Microsoft
3 AntiSpyware PC Tools
I would love to hear other suggestions
