Which is s self-fullfilling prophecy. Someone who is using ZoneAlarm sure
isn't competent enough to spot an intrusion.

I update it each time they release an update.

Which helps exactly how much? Heck, even the obvious remote DoS (using a
combination of SYN, ICMP and UDP flooding) remains sinceever it was
discovered years ago)

With Zone Alarm and Kaspersky anti virus, I've never had a problem with
trojans or malware of any kind.


Uoh, and then even the Kaspersky fun. Hey, do you know what
NtCreateProcess(0,0,0,0,0,0,0) means? For you, it means a bluescreen.

Zone Alarm freebie is simple and it works.


Except that it works.
