Zone Alarm Security Suite verses Norton Systemworks?

I've been using Norton System works for many years now and it has done a decent job at protecting many of my computes. I also use Zone Alarm Pro for my software firewall. That's a great product also.



However, recently Norton System Works has been giving me errors saying my Zone Alarm Pro is not working. But, Zone Alarm is working fine. I've contact Symantec's support and I'm not happy with their solutions. Norton gives me these big red alert boxes and X's that are always displayed if it 'seemingly' finds a problem with other software it monitors.



I'm getting a bit fed-up with Norton. It's a resource hog, red errors always being displayed, very poor technical support too, unless I pay for it. On the other hand, Zone Alarm Security Suite now includes anti-virus protection, plus a great firewall.



Should I dump Norton? Zone Alarm Internet Suite also allows you to use their program on up to 3 separate computers! I hate to leave Norton, but maybe it's time to.

Welcome to the club! I dumped Norton for the same lame responses as yourself. I now use Kaspersky and am thrilled with it. Picks up almost everything and instead of looking for errors in other programmes, it gives you the options.



The good thing about Zone alarm, is it has a pretty good stand alone virus package as well as good security backup. I think it is good to try other "equally good" products for a while anyway. So do yourself a favour.



Zone Alarm Security Suite verses Norton Systemworks?antispyware



I had many of the same problems you are having with Norton. Problem is, unless you are somebody like Bill Gates or the like, Norton is almost impossible to completely delete. It always seems to imbed itself in some system files, ready to spring back when you least suspect it. Don't get me wrong, I think Norton is a good product. Nevertheless, I use PCcillin now. I also like AVG, especially because they seem to have a very good free version.

Where to install?!?

hmmm today my anti virus protection expire... any idea where i can install FREE and a good one...links will be nice...ty =D



Where to install?!?windows



AVG is very good and free



http://www.grisoft.com/



Where to install?!?antivirus download



use kaspersky antivirus the best ever software...........



but it is valid for only 30 days.....and their is no crack found on net
In addition to the other items, if you go to AOL and sign up, I believe that they will provide you, gratis, a full suite of tools - Anti-virus, anti-adware, etc. To be completely thorough - you should use more than one tool.
AVG is free forever. (Until They Decide It Shouldnt be Anymore)
Trend Micro makes an online virus scanned called House Call. It's available at housecall.trendmicro.com/ and you run it in the browser using Java. It's good if you don't want to install a big AV program or if you suspect a virus has corrupted your AV program.

Is there a site i can go to to get serial numbers for antivirus programs?

I really need help, i have no anti-virus protection people...jus tell me a site where i can get the codes to register spyware doctor 3.8 for free....



Is there a site i can go to to get serial numbers for antivirus programs?



don't! when you look for cracks for software you are becoming vulnerable to even more attacks like spyware, trojans, etc. just use Adaware SE Personal and Spybot Search and Destroy. both are free and highly recommended. both can be found at the below website by searching.

My modem keeps beeping...what does this mean?

I have a desktop Compaq Presario S4000V that was purchased in 2003. Within the last few months, I've noticed that the modem beeps frequently during my usage of the computer. I have no idea what this could be from. I keep up-to-date anti-virus protection running, but this has not been a problem before. I thought it might be the sound card, but both of my speakers work fine. Should I be concerned about the problem and how can I fix it?



My modem keeps beeping...what does this mean?adware



That beeping is your computer telling you something is wrong. If it is an overheating problem, check the fans are working and as suggested above some air to dust it out. Do it outside,( from experience ) as the dust will be un-believable.



good luck



My modem keeps beeping...what does this mean?antivirus scan



something could be telling you it is over heating. try taking off your cover with the computer off and unplugged and blowing all the dust out. a can of compressed air from any hardware, wal-mart, or automotive store and a 1" wide very soft paint brush do the job well. the heatsinks (metal things) collect a lot of dust and your processors get very warm.

Whats the best Internet security software,?

hello i dont have any internet security or anti virus protection, some one told me that its important to have, is there any free on the internet or any free trials out there



Whats the best Internet security software,?agv



There is a lot of free software available.



ANTIVIRUS: My favorites are AVG at www.grisoft.com,



then AVAST at www.avast.com



SPYWARE CLOBBERERS: Spybot S%26D at www.safer-networking.org and Ad-Aware at www.lavasoftusa.com



FIREWALL: Zone Alarm at www.zonelabs.com



Whats the best Internet security software,?antivirus software



i would recommend using anti vira and spyware terminator both which can be downloaded and used for free.



One site that has them as well as others is freesoftware4all.co.uk but theres quite a few sites you can get things like this from.
No its not Norton is rubbish its full of flaws. I would highly reccommend Zone Alarm. Its has internet secuity including virus protection and firewall. You simply cannot beat it.
norton
Using Linux rather than Windows is the best free internet security software.
LOL Everyone has their choice of anti-virus software, personally I like Norton, have never had a problem with it and it has saved me from viruses many times... its all a matter of ones opinion. Use what is right for you, do some research and choose, anything is better than nothing and you can always change to something better. Do keep in mind though (regardless of what everyone raves) You do get what you pay for, FREE is just that. One with a good firewall is a great idea also.
Norton is over-rated, I've tried it, AVG, Panda, and Mcafee.

Slow running computer, What else can i try?

WindowsXP home



92% available space



pentium 4 @ 3.6 Ghz



256mb of RAM



Okay here goes, I have completely erased my hard drive, re-installed the OS, acquired all of the necessary updates for the OS. Installed updates for the drivers i need, have AVG 7.5 anti virus protection running. I run scan disk on it and keep temporary internet files deleted, cookies dumped, and analyze my hard drive once a week for a defrag and do it if needed.



My system runs sooooo slow even though i do all of these things.



I did a free registry scan and it shows almost 300 invalid registry items. Is there a way to remove these items without purchasing a new program?



OR.... is this not my problem? Please help.



Slow running computer, What else can i try?anti virus



SLOW because your PC is frequently accessing SLOW Virtual Memory. Upgrade RAM to 2x512mb. Your PC would suddenly be amazing.



Also disable unnecessary startups in msconfig.

Does any one know the quickest way to find a new girlfriend (tomorrow is 14th and I have nobody!!)?

To spice it up, I intend to attach an external floppy drive connected via spare USB port dangling with 12 inches cable!

I am new to the internet and to computers so I have no idea what is going on. When I am on the net sometimes my computer will all of a sudden pop up and say Microsoft Internet Explorer Error and have a screen that says Report problem or Don't send Report. Then my screen will shut down and pop back up after a few seconds. I ran my anti virus protection, my spyware and did a disk defragmentation and it still does it. Does anyone know what this is and if you do can you plz tell me how to fix it? I need directions in detail, I'm new remember. Thank you in advance.

Run a Disk Check. Start---My Computer--Right click on Drive(C)--Click Properties--in properties, click Tools--click Check Now--check both boxes--clcik Start.



You'll have to restart your PC. This will take up to an hour to check and clean errors. Once done, it will take you back to the log-in menu.



Only other thing I can say, is that your RAM modules(s) might be going bad.

go to your current browser

Why must I continually sign-in in order to gain access to MY YAHOO page after choosing "sign in

My Yahoo homepage is continually gone, replaced with the generic page every other time I go to it... I have not deleted cookies or temporary files since "sign(ing) in for two weeks" and accessing the page normally. No changes have been made to my OS or my browser or my ISP or my Yahoo ID or password, nor am I using a different or currently shared pc. I am not behind a firewall, nor am I on a LAN or WAN. I use a 56k modem on a simple twisted-pair, non-dedicated landline. I am not attempting anything involved with remote access. Since I am not admin on this machine, no registry modifications have been made by me or anything I can install; and, effective anti-virus protection is installed, as well as automatic update capability being enabled for the MS WinXP-SP2 OS running. I can use any one of three different browsers: Firefox, Mozilla, or I.E.7; and, I do not make use of a third-party mail client or proxy. It appears that this is a Yahoo SNAFU; and, I am unable to confirm this.



Why must I continually sign-in in order to gain access to MY YAHOO page after choosing "sign in for 2 week"?antivirus programs



In "Internet Options" are your privacy and security settings both set to default? Seems like the cookie is being blocked for some reason.



Why must I continually sign-in in order to gain access to MY YAHOO page after choosing "sign in for 2 week"?computer protection



Do you sign out when done browsing the internet? If so that will override the selection to keep me signed in. Also if you shut down your computer that will do it too. Sometimes the firewall ,antivirus,popup blocker will change the way a computer operats. Also if you have downloaded service pack 2 from MS there have been problems with how the computer operates. Also if you happen to have 2 different antivirus programs or firewall programs conflicts arrise and may even lock you out of your system all together. I know for one that firefox will reset your operating system too, I don't know if mozilla will or not but it's a good bet it will.

Ok, here's the dealio:



For my graduation present into high-school my parents are getting me a laptop, considering one cannot survive high-school without one.



So, naturally, im look for some suggestions on a laptop I could get. I should point out that I have had a Mac for ALL my life and in junior high and im not loving them. Sure they're easy to use but you can't DO anything on them!!



It must:



~ not a Mac (unless you think i should really get one)



~ come with a word processer or be able to install one



~ be reliable



~ be fast



~ be inexpensive (but not a hunk of junk)



~ have anti-virus protection



~ have wireless capabilities



It would be cool if it:



~ came in different colors to choose from



~ was "made in japan"



~ was not a vista (unless you think i should really get one)



For everyone that knows a lot about laptops, or even just a little, please help me out!?antivirus scan



I'm not sure what exact computer you should get, but IBM computers, Vizio computers, and Dell computers would be the best. :)

I'm no whizz regarding the technical side of computers,but when I'm on sites such as yahoo answers for example,after about an hour or so,I lose the site and a sign comes up at the very top of the screen saying "cannot find server" Havn't a clue what that means or why it happens!



In order for me to go on to any site after this has occured,including checking emails and even my home page,I either have to reboot or restart my pc and start from scratch.



Yet I still have an internet connection after this problem occurs,and I do have anti-virus protection installed which updates and runs scans daily!



Any help would be much appreciated,



Thanks.

Hi tinyfeet, listen in this case when this happens there are 2 possibilities one of them for sure is the problem :



1- this problem from the Modem or the router, sometimes the software of the modem or the router get damaged and I dont mean by the software , the software that u install it from the CD, No, Its the software of the modem it self from inside.



any way in this case if u can tell me ur modem Model (linksys or Speedtouch or netgear or whatever the model)



2- a problem from the DSL, I mean a problem from the ISP (Internet Service Provider) so in this case u should call them and tell them about the problem that u r having and they will check the connection for U, if there is a problem from their connection they will fix it from their side

Also Windows firewall is turned off, yet LimeWire says a firewall is detected with them all off.

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the the web ..I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

He suggested i call dell and tell them to format my computer which would uninstall everything i have to be sure to get rid of the virus. I got anti spyware protection but it cant delete it. Should i get a whole new computer or call dell?



Virus on my computer?avast



u need anti virus not anti spyware



Virus on my computer?ducati



Use AntiVirus software - as you've already found, you can't use Microsoft Windows without it! AVG Free is good for the price.



Dell can help you if you want to format %26 re-install.



If you are rich and want to get a whole new computer, then get one running Mac OS X or Ubuntu so you don't get Microsoft viruses any more.



http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segto...
If you have xp you can do a recovery, or backup. You should not get a new computer due to a virus though. Just get a friend that knows computers to fix it. It will save you lots of money. I would also recommend you call bellsouth again, perhaps the tech you talked to on the phone was new or had to go use the restroom and just lied and said you had a virus and could not wait on the phone long...
neither



if you have your operating system that came with the computer you can restart everything. and start from scratch...sorry for your loss.
You should use an antivirus program and antispyware software, because your computer is now infected with viruses and/or spyware.



Here you have more information on computer security, as well as good and free programs that you can download into your computer:

My mccaffee virus program will not install?

I did a system restore, so it deleted my anti virus program, which happens to be mccaffee (the "greatest product in the world") and i put in the CD rom and tried to reinstall it. when that didn't work, i went online and tried doing it online. it always fails when it is trying to download the security center, it stops and puts an x next to it and other programs like anti spyware.



i have an HP computer and windows XP.



my virus program is total protection.



PLEASE help me



they charge you when you call them

My mccaffee virus program will not install?firewall



macafee is out of date my dear.i hv the total protection.it's no worth just slowing down my pc.Kaparsky is the best now.
Try this out.
.... Mccaffee's alright but you'd i wouldn't take it as a big loss... download avast or AVG, i use AVG and have never had an infection. remember depending on what sites you goto you're more (or less) likely to get a virus so as long as you stay away from those typa sites (usually the naughty ones) then you should be fine with AVG or Avast, both free.
In my opinion mcfee is horrible, its slows down your pc badly. Instead download this, its amazing great and powerful and its free! google AVG Anti Virus, its great!

I have a question for you. can you help?

Well, I'm currently waiting to purchase my Macbook Pro. Leopard has been delayed, and said to make its debut in October due to the iphone OS.



In the meanwhile, I have McAfee on my windows Sony notebook. I am a subscriber. So my question is: Can I download the same McAfee software on my other desktop computer without having to buy a separate McAfee security suit?



For example: Can I use the McAfee that is on my Sony on my Desktop and be able to update them both with the same registration?



I know they're free Anti Virus protections available on the Internet, but just answer this specific question for me, please.

Computer Virus.....HELP!!?

I have this computer (OS win 98)at work which does not literally do anything. It gets stuck on every application. It did not have any antivirus protection..so i installed the anti virus, update it.. and tried to run.. but i think the virus got my Norton too.. i tried to format the Drives.. the C: drive could not be formatted because the OS in installed in there, I neither can format nor scan the C:. what can i do? i tried replacing the win 98 with the XP.. but the computer got stuck on the process..what can i do??



Computer Virus.....HELP!!?cafe racer



I guess you should upgrade the hardware itself. Maybe the reason why you can't install WinXP is because you lack the minimum hardware requirements to run it in your PC.



Check your specs, if its lower than the recommended requirements (not the minimum), try upgrading for your XP run, at least, at a tolerable level.



Hope this helps!

How do I completely reset my virus and add-ware infested slow desktop so it would be all clean?

I have a 5 year old desktop, Compaq Presario with Windows XP Home Edition. Because of the fact that we had some pretty bad virus and add-ware protection in the past, now, it slow as hell, and it's constantly showing various odd error messages. I've tried a hundred different things, downloading new anti-virus software, defragmenting the main drives, running Spybot Search %26 Destroy like a hundred times, and it has improved the situation very little. I don't have a recovery disc or anything like that for it, so I can't just wipe everything and re-install it again. My question is, is it possible for me to somehow completely reset the computer, I don't care if everything's lost, I'll back up the information, I just need to make it run faster, and MAKE IT WORK! For me the only option that seems possible now is to somehow completely wipe out everything and reset it. Can someone tell me how I would go about doing that without having to buy another Windows XP copy?



How do I completely reset my virus and add-ware infested slow desktop so it would be all clean?computer protection



There should be a recovery partition on a Compaq, unless it was deleted. On all my Compaq's it is the d: drive. There is a boot option on system start (F8 I believe). You can also run msconfig.exe to look at the boot.ini file and change the default boot device.

Extremely Irritating Virus?

Earlier I downloaded a program called Speed Optimizer and I had to pay for the trial so I didnt want to pay. I looked for a program called a keygen and ended up getting a virus. The virus opens up mulitple webpages every other minute to a website called bestmanage or something. I need to figure out how to remove it. My Anti-Virus/Anti-Spy prog is AT%26T Yahoo Online Protection. Its not the best virus search%26destroy because it takes forever to locate. And you got to manually delete the viruses which are still running on your HD which you cant delete a running prog so it doesnt work. . . Any answers?



I am willing to download a anti-virus prog, if it still is a free trial I dont mind. About an hour ago I defragged my drive to speed it up a bit.



Thanks

I wouldn't buy anything. Get it for free.



If you have the Antiverims thing, do a seach for SMITFRAUDFIX in google and download the fix. You will have to reboot into safe mode to run the fix. Otherwise here are some good resources.



If the pop ups appear when you're online, activate your browsers pop up blocker. Go to tools - internet options - block pop ups.



But if they appear on your pc when you're not connected to the net then you have either spyware or adware on your pc. Run Spybot S%26D and Ad-Aware SE Personal to get rid of them.

Also, your Java is probably out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. To prevent further infections with this trojan, update your Java at the Sun Java website:

AVG Anti-Spyware free edition goes to limited free edition??

I've always wondered why, AVG Anti-Spyware free edition goes to limited free edition? It's a free program - AVG Anti-Virus doesn't do that why does Anti-Spyware? I've had AVG for a while now, and I've always wondered why the AVG Anti-Spyware program has full protection (Resident Shield, Automatic Updates) when you first download it.. and then after a certain amount of days it will say "You are using the featured-limited free version" and you no longer have the resident shield and automatic updates



AVG Anti-Spyware free edition goes to limited free edition??firewall



There are two faces of a free software: it can be a FREEware or an Evaluation Copy.



Example, Yahoo Messenger is a freeware, but Winzip, winamp, etc are evaluation copy softwares bcuz you have options to purchase these softwares. Similarly, AVG Antispyware is also an evaluation copy unless you buy it, and after specific days of installation, it starts showing up.



But I totally and absolutely agree with you, friend. These people have changed the actual definition of FREE completely. It's Free (with an asterix *) means not unlimited free but only for a certain period, conditions apply..... ;)

My computer has gotten this virus and I need some major help now! Basically, Internet keeps popping saying "security center" in the title bar...

It's actually not my computer or I would have had adequete protection, but it looks like the anti-virus software has been out of date for some time and no one has run Ad-Ware in ages either.

it offers a virus shield and a full protection from viruses.



Also download SUPERantispyware



http://www.superantispyware.com/superant...



this program can get rid of some of the most toughest trojans out there and it leaves the other antispyware in the dust



these to programs do not take up alot of power out of your system.



You could also get a firewall but it isn't that necessary



if you do get one get Zonealarm Free or Comodo



Once your computer starts hit ctrl+dlt+alt



that opens task manager it should tell you what programs are using your computer power. if your not sure what process is from what company do not touch it and never end a process unless you know what it is . Next you should try and get rid of unused programs kinda like. stick to one kind of media player that suites you.

How many of these computer problems could be solved if everyone had virus scanners and anti-spyware?

I'm half tempted to make a template message because half the problems on here are "I have a virus". Honestly, does anyone not know the internet is a dangerous place and that you need protection?



How many of these computer problems could be solved if everyone had virus scanners and anti-spyware?free spyware remover



I was a special projects tech and pc support specialist at a University for 3 years which forced me into writing my own software, so I could stop wasting my time repeating myself with cleanups, etc. I agree, if people kept things up to date and at least used basic prevention/detection software, 50%+ of the problems wouldn't occur.



Now I know that some trojans and worms need a second glance or stinger software specially written for it, but those cases occur less than 2% of the time. So, even though Linux is safer and less troublesome, the average user needs Windows for their comfort level.



I've created a small template this week because I grew tired of typing the same answer over and over again, but this is getting ridiculous.



How many of these computer problems could be solved if everyone had virus scanners and anti-spyware?ktm



I agree with you.
Man, I hear ya. About 50% of the problems are just that, the rest are because they don't speedread well enough to know what the tutorials say.
If people kept their Windows and all their other software 100% patched and updated, the need for anti-virus software would fall by 75%, I would bet.
The main problem is not viruses and spyware, but operating systems that were never designed from the beginning to incorporate security.



There ARE operating systems out there that were designed from the ground up to be secure (*BSD, UNIX, LINUX, Mac OS X, etc.).

Bt online protection norton firewall and antivirus wont install!?free spyware



If you have just joined BT ( I assume you have with your free Norton), best to do a full restore of your computer with the Restore disc supplied with your PC. I did this after switching to BT, which ensured I was starting afresh with no remnants of old anti-virus/spyware software or any other downloaded stuff for that matter. Just back up your essential files to disk or flashdrive and away you go and wait for the Windows updates to re-install (will take about half an hour). Then install your BT software and everything should be straightforward from there. And if the Norton Auto-updates don't kick in straight away, just do it manually in the Norton Protection Centre section you will have downloaded. Good luck.



Bt online protection norton firewall and antivirus wont install!?live update



I would suggest that your system still has entries from previously installed antivirus etc.Sometimes it can be difficult to remove these and you may require a dedicated utility pertaining to specific software.Without knowing exactly what you had previously I cannot advise.Good luck!!

I have AT%26T on my computers that has WindowXP and I like their protection very much. I wasn't able to get it yet on the computer that has Vista. I would recommend it highly. When they get it all ready for Vista I will probably change over to their protection.

along with this free software you get mail protection, parental controls,pop up blocker,anti spyware,norton ant virus and norton personal firewall how do you unistall the last three (Norton spyware Anti virus firewall) without unistalling the other ones(these are the ones that i dont want) but if you cant how on earth do you unistall all of it nothing works.
