Zone Alarm Problem Problem in viewing websites

[solankyno1 0]

Today I have installed Zone Alarm Free Version on my Windows XP computer. I am on dial up connection. At first I was very impressed by its working. But after some time I have noticed that some sites are not opening like Google, Webshots. Anybody can tell why?????

Is it free??

is it free?

dont you know google

No outpost pro is not free a single user licence = $39.95

But its true zonealarm is nice to use but overall its not such a good firewall ie, it blocks things een if granted access.

But if you want a good (and free) firewall for your system there are a few you could try the one I liked best is: sygate which is free for personal use

There is a free version of outpost to but it has less features as the pro version. If you like to try outpost-free aswell just *click*

good luck

Today I have installed Sygate 5.6 on my Winows XP SP1. Just after installing I restart my computer as asked to do so. But after restart I have recievd error dialog. Its title was SMC.exe and in description it was something like"refernce memory cannot be accessed". I have uninstall and reinstall it several times but the same problem was there. Can anybody help????????

mhhh could you give the whole error, looks like a paging (unloading and reloading of .exe's and .dlls) problem but without the full error thats hard to say.

Thanks pbrugge for your help. But now I have installed Kerio Personal Firewall and I am satisfied with it. And it will be a problem for me if I uninstall Kerio and install Sygate for note down the error. I think you can understand.

Probably you have a zonealarm problem...YOu disabled internet browsing option which let u surf the net.Try reinstallin zonealarm or putting Internet Explorer on the "Allowed programs" list so IE will be able to get pass the firewall and acess the internet!Hope it'll work...bye

Dear friend, the problem is not this. I have said that only some sites are not opening. Others are working well.

Well it depends on the set up you have it on. I have mine set up to where it asks me if I want to allow internet connection to the program or website. It gets really annoying when you have to keep clicking yes or no but it is better safe that sorry. Because no one wants to get a virus. I would suggest buying the program instead of using a trial version because it is a really good program. So just check the setting you have it on and maybe that will fix it.

Thanks Randle, I have shifted to paid version already and that works fine. Now I am also using Broanband instead of dial up when at first i have started this thread and problem was coming. Now everything is working fine.
