 |
|
Just lost 3 hours to an over zealous firewall. Opening Firefox with 29 open tabs and Chrome with 11 seems too much for ZoneAlarm in maximum protection mode. It blocked all http access! Had to dial down the level of protection. It took 3 hours to find that ZA was the problem! Of course, having 40 active web pages is not the problem 
I hope Kaspersky is a bit more forgiving - I'm switching in 9 days, when ZA expires, as I can get the full version free from my bank
I'm also going to have to write a page with all the links I use on a daily basis, instead of having them all open permanently Seems like the sensible option

Thanks, I'll look that up in the morning (OK, in the afternoon, by the time I get up! )

| Perhaps you should try GlassWire instead of ZoneAlarm? Even the free version is quite powerful. |

I think Kapersky is a better option besides he's getting it for free from his bank (assuming it's the total security version). |

| I am using Kaspersky on my laptop and it is really good. For the protection paid antivirus is always better. |
