Zone Alarm Question

Its still at zero things blocked. I have had this on my laptop for 2 days now. Is this working? When i had it on the family computer it blocked stuff every day.

 

Re: Zone Alarme Question

do u have a router? maybe its firewall is blocking the attacks.

 

Re: Zone Alarme Question

Go to www.grc.com and do the shieldsup test and see if that shows up.

 

Re: Zone Alarme Question

4. this is what the page looks like right before it tests any ports. as ports are tested u will see rows or squares colored either red (open), blue (closed), or green (stealthed).

after your test is done, see if ZoneAlarm's counter has changed.

 

Re: Zone Alarme Question

I ran the Shields Up test on Zone Alarm 6.1 and got all green squares.

 

Re: Zone Alarme Question

ALL GREEN W00T this is so 1337

 

Re: Zone Alarme Question

so that is why noting is blocked *in cartman voice* sweet

 

Re: Zone Alarme Question

ok now its blocking stuff but the thing that says how many things have been blocked is not going up from 0.

 

Zone Alarm blocked some stuff but it didn't show up in the intrusions list

Why Did I set it up wrong?? Is something corrupted?

 

Re: Zone Alarm blocked some stuff but it didn't show up in the intrusions list

u never did answer my question: do u have a router (with firewall)?

 

Re: Zone Alarm blocked some stuff but it didn't show up in the intrusions list

i think i do.

 

Re: Zone Alarm blocked some stuff but it didn't show up in the intrusions list

its not the router since the downstairs one has stuff blocked

 

Re: Zone Alarm blocked some stuff but it didn't show up in the intrusions list

bump before leaving for work

 

bump again someone please answer

 

have u tried uninstalling and reinstall ZoneAlarm?

if that doesnt work, i suggest u post at teh ZA forums. they know more about the program and will be better suited at helping you.

 

for some reason i can't make an account

 

i reinstalled it. oh could prevx be blocking them?

 

prevx1 is generally cooperative when doing program installs, but u could shutdown prevx1 just in case.

 

ok i disabled prevx now to play the waiting game and see if it blocks anything if so prevx is blocking all the stuff idk if thats good or not

 

nothing blocked yet weird and annoying

 

What level do you have the firewall set to? Also, is your network in the trusted zone? A firewall really shouldn't need to block anything if your network is trusted. Try maxing out the slider under the settings tab, and then see if anything is blocked
