I just noticed that there is a newer version and promptly 'installed' and regretted it. :(

I used v. 1.65 and when closing it says 'It's shut down time...'.  :D The new version says 'Cancel...please wait'. >:(
I think we've got enough 'OKs' and 'Cancels' and 'Please waits' in Windows already. I found the 'It's shut down time' a refreshing difference and proof of the programmers attention to detail.

But then again, I also need a 10k exhaust system on my 12k bike just because it looks better. :-[   

I've been using Blackice defender

Thanks for both, the link and the welcome. I've been reading this board for centuries but never posted.

Anyone else finding that the latest build of ZoneAlarm Pro takes about five minutes (or more) to start up?

Yeah, I think it's a bit slower but 5 minutes??? :huh:

I work a lot at night (GMT+8) and get roughly every 4-5 sec a hacking attempt or at least a port scan, most of them can be back traced to my service provider. :D I was thinking about using Blackice on the other one too but then again I got the whole ZA security suite on that one. Would be quite a waste of money.

ZA's spy scan is pretty weak so I use AVG spy. ZA gave me an incompatibility warning when I upgraded. Had to un-install AVG, let ZA finish and re-install AVG. Seems to work now.

Most of my emails I leave for laaaaaater.

But the newsletter is a 'must instandly read'.  :Thmbsup:
