Thanks for the link!

 

By the way, although the system requirements only mention FireFox 2 the latest build supports FireFox 3. IE6 & IE7 are also supported, but that's it.

 

I will have to try it on my Vista laptop and see if it doesn't crash. It was extremely buggy on my XP machine a few months ago. They had a nice offer last November when they gave away a free copy of ZA antispyware. I have since moved on to the next best thing.

Thanks for the link. I just downloaded a copy . By the way, you have to install and apply the license today in order for it to work.

 

Tried it, didn't like it. It 'symanteced' my machine.

 

it is rocking and rolling over here at my pc
blazing fast(flying like a bird)

 

Seems to work better with my Vista machine than XP. My XP desktop was running like Windows 95 when I had it installed. I had to wait like 2 minutes for my browser to pop-up and my yahoo messenger crashed. I wonder if they are having a hard time selling this product.

 

It seems the offer is only for the US. It shows nothing when visiting the website

 

I live in Norway and had no problem signing up for the offer, so it's not US only.

 

Really? Then it's IE being crazy

 

It seems that in firefox 3 the files downloaded with InternetDownloadManager,don't have the save/run option.I use advanced browser integration in IDM.Major incovienence for me but overall it works great on my pc along Outpost ,and Avira.I'm a sandboxie fanboy so i won't keep it long

 

I'll download this now and hopefully it will work with opera one day.

 

And where did you find that information?
This line in my e-mail is only thing that can be slightly related to expiration of any kind:

 

I think she's a keeper. Thanks

 

Thank you victec a nice free.

 

("Note: this download link is active for 7 days, expiring 6am (PST) on 8/20/08") the download link will expire at that time but you can install at any time once you have it downloaded.

 

I misunderstood the license information in the email - sorry. It does appear that the license is ticking regardless of when we install the application though.

 

I read an article by Roger A. Grimes, InfoWorld (May 21) that ZoneAlarm ForceField v.1.0.331.0 was compromised in sixty seconds. He surfed links from Shadowserver.org and www.dshield.org with the string "killwow1.cn/g.js" in the source code. He didn't mentioned Sandboxie or Defensewall in the article. You can do a Google search for it. He sure wasn't a fan of sandboxing at all.

 

do you need this if you use sandboxie?

thanks

 

Not really.

 

No. I don't even see the point of buying this thing, which is compatible only with some browsers, while you can use Sandboxie which is free and compatible with any software.

 

thanks for the link
