Yes, but I genuinely think it's more than just that. :) The thing has issues and TB! seems to fall victim to it on way too many occasions. :( Yes, it does turn out not to be the problem all the time, but I'll always ask about it and anyone with connection problems with TB!, who are running ZA and whose connection problems are cured by a reboot or a restart of TB!, are being affected by ZA until proven otherwise. OTOH, Kerio Personal firewall either doesn't work or works for you. If it works, it never seems to get inexplicably in the way. It has a nice track record and is very effective. BlackICE is also good but was scowled at since it didn't offer extrusion protection, but this has recently been dealt with in the later versions. I've used both without any system problems and have been a participated in their user groups. - -- -=Allie C Martin=- List Moderator | TB! v1.61 | Windows XP Pro PGP/GPG Public Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2 _________________________________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAj08p1QACgkQV8nrYCsHF+JU9QCfT+sY/MCmlJtv5N3PhE8lMnGg csIAoNl6kO1lFuQt7a3zrlz3RjUF/tMZ =2TDG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
