Zonealarm

Post by ultimatehandyman »

I have been using zonealarm as a firewall for the last few years.


But of late, it has really been annoying the crap out of me ::b

It keeps asking me to update and a pop up box gives the option of updating now, or "remind me later"

If you click the "remind me later" radio button you can select how many days pass before itm reminds you.

I always click on 60 days.

But for the last week it has been popping up every time I start the bloomin computer :angryfire:

Is any body else being bugged by this pop up?

I use zonealarm and just click the "remind me later" button when it starts up. I've never had any virus or malware on any of my PCs so I don't mind one extra click during the startup process. Just count it as the click you would require to start it up if it didn't start automatically.
Granted, the only time my PCs are switched off is when they are restarting after a microsoft update.
