Help with new (3.1.395 freeware) version of ZoneAlarm!

Dobero · 10-11-2002, 03:25 PM

I've installed the new version and it connects to internet every startup of the system. I'm looking for a way to disable this but it's absen in the program settings. Could you help me?

ZA is connecting to the internet????? Do you have the auto update feature ticked. If so, untick it and see if that helps.

Also, ZA has to run at startup to work. If you set it to not run at startup it is of no use.

auto update is disabled and obviuosly it loads at startup :-)
don't know why does it connect since it's only establishes a connection to internet without contacting any server or site.

i also have this prob with za - thought i had a trojan till i sussed it was za connecting to the net. i now have the autoconnect disabled and only start za when i want to connect. sometimes i forget tho, dangerous! if anyone knows how to disable this new trait of za i'd be supremely grateful, otherwise, i think i'll have to get another firewall.

ps - thanks for the great site - i'm new to all this p2p stuff, but have learnt much quickly visiting utc,

love to all the cows!
