Anyone else upgrade their ZA in the last few days?  Ever since I have I've been getting asked about every goddam thing I do from ZA. 

Is this bad?

Sounds like the new version uses a different method to save your preferences, or for some other reason, it is not reading the preferences from the old version.

[Trlgg]

Yeah probably

did you notice what it said about Trillian.  Is this a bad thing?

[dj]

What did it say about Trillian.  I don't use Zonealarm.

[Trlgg]

hehe, move the slider and look at the rest of the the pic next time.

It says it Trilian is trying to monitor your mouse movements and keyboard strokes.   Is this safe?

[dj]

Trillian monitors the mouse/keyboard as a result of its feature of changing your status to "away from the computer" after the amount of time you specify.

Zone Alarm Sucks ass I just want to use my computer without having to give permission to a freakin program every 5 minutes........talk about annoying.

Yup, that is annoying.  The firewall in my router works fine for me.

I went back to using Microsoft's firewall (ack) because ZA was irritating.   Just block ports and programs and shut the fuck up about it. :p

I love my hardware firewall.  Turn it on and forget about it.

True that.  The only reason I want a software firewall is so I know what apps are trying to get out.
