Topic: does zonealarm support 64bit windows?

[blodflekk]

I Have some more help i would like, I have just upgraded to windows x64 (my system is 64bit but was running 32) and i read online that zonealarm does not support 64bit, what firewall should i be using and how would i set it up ?

[Samker]

first one question: do you now run XP or vista?

[blodflekk]

Windows XP Servicepack 2 x64

As I know ZA work on all XP versions  :

Operating System

Windows Vista   Supported

Our most popular products, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite, ZoneAlarm Antivirus, ZoneAlarm Pro 7.1, and ZoneAlarm (free firewall), run on the Windows Vista operating system. Our newest addition to the ZoneAlarm family, the ZoneAlarm Secure Wireless Router, also works with Vista. ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is not currently available for Vista. Due to the different needs and functionality of the Vista operating system, some features and functionality on 2000/XP may differ on Vista.


Windows XP   Supported

All currently shipping ZoneAlarm products will run without limitation on the Windows XP operating system.


Windows 2000   Supported

All currently shipping ZoneAlarm products will run without limitation on the Windows 2000 operating system.

P.S.

I think that it's also good idea to install SP3 on your XP, we have them just look or search in "Security Updates".

This is the result I got when trying to install ZA. Can you clear this up or give me some other advice?

[Samker]

Very funny, you see that they said that support all XP versions.  Probably some bug. 

Anyway, my second favorite with excelent protection is Comodo Firewall.

I suggest you to download Free Version, try few days and after that provide me here in this topic your eventual problems or questions.


P.S.

One more question, which AntiVirus you use or maybe you need also some solution for x64?

[blodflekk]

ok, I will download the free version and see what its like, any reccomended settings?. As for Anti-virus, I have AVG8.0 Free and it works for x64 and it seems to be pretty good, it helped me out alot before i upgraded.

AVG is very good (of course for some Free AV), and for now use firewall default settings. We will resolve problems later, if you have any.

Ok, Thank you, and the old AVG like versions 5 through till 7 werent very good, but i am very pleased with this version 8.

I am not enjoying this comodo firewall, I keep getting alerts and asking me what software and files are ok, some of which are system files, and I really cant tell, do you have any setting up advice or a better firewall? or maybe an Internet security suite?
