Anyone have some screen shots for rules pertaining to the use of WD and ZA? Just dumped my Norton (resource HOG), using the trial version of ZA Security Suite now.

I use the free version of Zone Alarm which is just the firewall. There’s nothing special to do for the firewall except allow the various WD components to access the internet.

Ok, will allow when the alerts show up.

I use ZA Pro, but I’ve learnt from experience not to update it until a new version has been on the go for several months and they’ve ironed the bugs out of it. I’m currently on 5.5.094.000. The current updating history since then is:
