Does anyone use the new ZoneAlarm? Are you getting any problems with the new release? I downloaded it and installed it but found it was causing me major problems with the "Switch User" functionality of XP.

Just wandering if anyone else is using the new one, and whether you are getting any problems...

    Well I'm using Pro ver 6.0 and have had no problems. Did you do an update or a clean install? When I've had problems in the past, I've found wiping it out and reinstalling from scratch solved them.

    Edit: Also check your antivirus doesn't have web-filtering enabled. That can cause problems sometimes.

    Oh right - I did a Clean Install. The only thing that puzzles me is the fact that it does it (the problems) on two machines...

    I've got a firewall built into my ADSL Router, but I like the features ZoneAlarm offers to stop Internet Access any time, and also the monitoring of programs that attempt to access the Internet...

    Thanks for your quick and speedy replies! ;)
