well zonealarm has always been great but there newest version 5 really sucks bad. its freezes up your computer and u can't even ctrl+alt+delete. you have to completly shut down. many people have been having the these problems. so i would advise you to stay away from zonealarm until this issue is fixed

used zonealarm for quite some time.

Tried ZSS, seemed to work brifely...i knew it was buggy but i tried ver. 5 anyway.

crashed hard when i used bittorrent to download. Screen freeze completely.

tried again...samething. ditched immediately.

I rather use dedicated AV rather than the one that comes with ZSS.

well zone alaram security suite is not as good as zone alaram Pro.. cos.. it is consuming lot of memory with the anit virus in it.. i suggest u get back to zone alaram pro...

True, but it takes less resources to have ZASS than it does to run ZAP + AVG.

ZA5 is just terrible, makes the system soo slow, unable to cttrl+alt+del, nothing, only way to shut down is to switch it off from the mains, and this on a newly formatted pc, i uninstalled it and all hte problems went away, im using the older 4.5 version, which does the job superbly, will never upgrade to ZA5. :/

really didnt like ZA5, i was a huge fan of four and swore by it however the price of za5, not to mention the bloatedness changed my mind. i also experienced a problem with it whereby za5 killed my connection every 5 mins, this was remedied by uninstallation.

at the moment i have no other firewall which i dont particularly enjoy as i feel somewhat vulnerable but i will wait until sp2 goes final and use the built in firewall with that as ive heard good things.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
