Boeing 787 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 everything seems fixed except the trend micro problem which both companies are trying to solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted July 29, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 29, 2004 This version is just as good as 4.5. I had no problems with the other 5.x.x versions, but when I played Counter-Strike, I would get tremendous packet losses every 10-15 seconds. It seems like they fixed that issue, so I'm now using v5 instead of the very stable 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted July 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 30, 2004 After 24 hours of testing, I'll have to say this is the best version they have yet released. It works flawlessly on my computer and it doesn't interfere with my P2P programs (WinMX). Good job ZoneLabs (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOGglee Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 seems that ppl still have stability problems with this new version.. guess i won't dl it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted July 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2004 ^Just because people are having trouble doesn't mean you will. If you were to do things by what other people say, then you wouldn't get anywhere. Install it, try it out, and see if its good on your PC. Some of these morons set the firewall up wrong and of course it'll cause issues, By the way, do a clean install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOGglee Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 ^i've already tried previous versions before this i'm trying to see if these problems have been fixed by checking out comments from other ppl... can't be bothered and no pt for me to install, get crashes, and uninstall it again everytime btw, no one told be not to download the program so i think your "If you were to do things by what other people say, then you wouldn't get anywhere." is redundant and it's not poilite to call ppl morons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted July 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2004 ^From my own experience, this version is causing no problems. So I would have to assume it is stable on someone elses machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckerfan Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Recently I had to switch firewalls. I had been running blackice [mediocore firewall btw] and was getting BSODs with it. So when I switched, it came down to ZA or Kerio... but then I ran across Outpost firewalland it was surprisingly very good, I highly recommend it. I read some user reviews about version 5 of ZA and many people weren't pleased. Thats the main reason why I didnt install ZA at that time, I would give it a shot now, but I'm too lazy to un-install my current one :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
