Hi
I don't know if anybody can help me - just got a new PC and have installed Zone alarm (have used this for years on my other PC with no problems) however my daughter tried to access You Tube last night and the video wouldn't play - had a message that java script is turned off or we don't have the latest flash player - but when we clicked on the link the adobe site said don't support your platform?? (New PC has Vista Premium). If I switch Zone alarm off - works fine - so I know it is linked to zone alarm. Does anybody have any ideas.

    Zone Alarm, Privacy, Site list, allow the site.

    You have to allow each and every site? Is it a script blocker now too then?

    I subscribed to Zone Alarm and despite a fairly recent sub renewal have had enough being messed about and have gone back to AVG Free until I can become convinced there is a better alternative.

    It depends on the version of ZA some versions, possibly just the pro version do have a script blocker.

    Yeah, that would make sense.
    I installed the free version a while back (But had problems), there was no script blocking then.
