DreadWingKnight Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well, ZA has proven itself to be more than just a little obnoxious in the past, and EXTREMELY stupid in recent versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalkat Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 well that i cant do unless there is something better that will work as well as ZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 You don't want something that works as well as ZA, because that would just be spyware.Comodo has a good track record with uT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalkat Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 thats only a firewall though right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Zone Alarm doesn't work though. uTorrent is NOT the only program to request you remove ZA to use it. (most programs which have problems are filesharing, and ANYTHING which sends/receives UDP packets will bloat with ZA active and hooking... you notice any problems with voice chat in games just stopping or the game crashing?? Likely ZA. Why are you using a software firewall when you're behind a router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalkat Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 im not sure what you mean like i said it only happened after i upgraded to vista never had problems before that had ZA forever never had problems with anything ever with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Just because YOU never had problems, it doesn't mean it's not a horrid piece of junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Take it from a former user (me) -- ZA has become an incredibly buggy piece of software over time.Comodo works well as a firewall, and Avira AntiVir Personal Edition works well as an antivirus (both of which are free). As for antispyware... well, I'm not too sure, but I've heard SUPERAntiSpyware to be a decent package for that purpose (free as well) -- I can't verify this though, having never used it.

kalkat Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 what if i buy Avira Premium Security Suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Your choice, though I don't know much about how well its other, non-antivirus components work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
