Spyware and Spam: How to Get Rid of It

Are you talking about an upgrade to zonealarm pro? If so just get the free trial version, if that works then you should be safe to buy it. If not you can disable the free trial without much effort. I'm not too familiar with the problems surrounding it so you're probably safer searching the web for a more qualified opinion.
 
There have been some issues regarding v5 of ZoneAlarm.

I believe some of the issues are addressed on the Zone Labs website.

Look for more information by doing a Google search. There are a number of forums that have threads about the situation.
 
Latest v5.1 release on Downloads.com is only pulling a 59% approval rating. I read the negative reviews, and apparently, ZA is still having problems.

Also...dammit. That OldVersion link that I posted is no longer valid. They removed the files at the request of Sharman Networks. :mad: I guess the only sure way to get it now is to send it to each other through email. Does anyone need Kazaa Lite 2.43 that has Yahoo or Gmail?
 
If you don't want to use ZA but are using XP, upgrade to SP2 and use the built in firewall - the functionality has greatly improved.
 
I read in a PC Gamer magazine about two other free programs.

One is Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)

And the other is AVG Antivirus free

I haven't used them much (as well as the Spybot, spysweeper, and norton) but they are both fine and the Windows one allows a quick search (like spybot) or an intensive search (like spysweeper or norton). :goodjob:


Also, has anyone heard of Ares for file sharing?
 
*slides into topic on forehead*

Old topic, dudes.

Haha...August 17, 2004? Complaining about K-LIte? :lol: I now use Limewire - super reliable compared to Kazaa. On Kazaa I couldn't get a good version of Van Morrison's Moondance or Robbie William's De-Lovely. On Limewire I scored both songs first thing.
