I said i'd grab BOTH to prove they exist This is on a Vista PC with a previous V of ZA. I forgot to get the V whilst i was there ! It's not the end of the world, but people should be able to have the choice to stop them permanently. On my ZA v.5.5..... i can & have set the option that IS there, not to check for Auto updates, & it doesn't
Of course pop-ups they exist in any version of ZA also yours. You will get pop-ups but certainly NOT at every time you turn ON the PC! So, the ZA used by your friend needs a doctor... LoL From the look of it they are from a VERY old ZA version, probably V.8 or V.9? Very much latest versions if we compare it with yours Time to update, most probably that ZA installation is corrupted. EDIT: Also ensure that ZA has the right to save on the PC, if not, the "no thank you" will be useless and you will keep getting it at each boot as ZA cannot save your choice. This will happen always regardless the version used.
My V only PopUps about once a year, reminding me to check for updates, which is fine. I'll have another look @ theirs.
I didn't believed as novice in firewalls,but in 2007 I installed ZA (I think 6) and I had warnings that it blocked attacks from other computer,and report who is that.In that time I was just a kid (for computers) so I didn't know where to see that Ip address,so until now I don't know who.
