I hope it continues for you. I had no problems at first and was a happy camper with ZA for some time but it didn't last. I can see one staying with an operating system that's known to be not the most secure and causes problems because they have invested time and money into it and furthermore, the alternatives may not amount to viable choices. However, the personal firewall thing perplexes me since there are so many viable, compatible choices out there. I don't see the point of running TB! and ZA if there are such known associated problems when running both together. Known problems that can be so insidious in their manifestations. Bad application interactions come and go. Some are universal in that they're experienced by all users and some aren't as is so troublesome with TB! and ZA. I was once neutral with ZA but I'm now frankly against using it ... period. OK, I can see the point of making sleeping dogs lie if there are no current problems but the answer seems clear to me with those having problems. Change the firewall. I'm amazed that the e-mail client is changed instead, when the e-mail is the application that involves more user interaction. Just my opinion though.... I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. :) PS// ZA can be factored out of the equation only after uninstalling it from your system. Merely deactivating it isn't enough. This is the other horrible thing about it.
