I am having major problems with upgrading Zonealarm and am about to
move to alternate firewall - any suggestions for a suitable alternative
would ne much appreciated.
I upgraded from Zonealarm 2.6.362.0 to 6.1.737.0 and got the error
message System Error: Please reboot
I removed and re-installed ZA about five times before Googling for an
answer and then visiting Zonealarms site when none of the suggestions
worked. After a lot of searching on the ZA site I finally found
reference to the above error message along with the suggestion that I
do a clean install by following the instructions at website address:
If you have a Cisco VPN client installed, you must first uninstall the
VPN client, then follow the instructions below
This page appears to be a copy of a now deleted ZA page. Well, I
followed the instructions to the letter and still no joy (did this 6
times!).
The fact that ZA have deleted the page probably means it wasn't a fix
anyway. Still, I can't find anything else regarding how to fix this
problem at the ZA site - but plenty of people asking for a solution!
So, as a last ditch attempt at getting an answer, can anyone solve this
for me. And failing that, what is a good firewall to switch to. And,
what am I risking by not having a firewall - it has been disabled for 2
weeks now.
TIA
