Faulty update crashes ZoneAlarm firewall

So if an _update_ from _ZoneLabs_ crashes ZoneAlarm. What chances does it have against properly coded malware?!

 

Hey Ron

Very good that you made a separate thread for this !
In this way it might take more attention than the postings here:

I quote the Official Response from Zone Labs:

=== begin quote ===

Zone Labs users began reporting True Vector-related crashes across its ZoneAlarm firewall and security suite product line late this afternoon, June 9th at approx. 5:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)

Zone Labs quickly replicated the issue in the company's security lab, identified the cause and resolved it within 5 hours.

The problem was related to an update to our Program Advisory service issued at 4:00 p.m. PDT. As soon as the issue was confirmed, Zone Labs rolled back the Program Advisory update and cleared its Internet-based update delivery system, which restored full functionality to users immediately.

Customers should be assured that Zone Labs is committed to providing a seamless, advanced Internet security solution and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

So, my thanks definitely go out to you, my friend !!!

Most warmest regards, Jan.
