red_ed Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Recently, I updated my firewall (Zone Alarm) and suddenly my internet settings are weird. I use Ff, but there are some sites that don't keep cookies anymore, while others still do. Also, on BZ, the motion avis and sigs don't move anymore, neither do the emoticons it's really weird and I checked the Ff settings and they appear to be ok, though I'm not 100% sure they are... *looks at MattloveModel's still avi* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!!!!!!! Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuTofDark Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 take a screenshoot with the settings and post it here.it`s usuless to use that firewall.it`s not that good.use Kerio or install Norton Antivirus .. it has a good firewall.i had them both but not anymore because i don`t need.Windows firewall is good enough.

SympathysSilhouette Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 To put it bluntly: the problem is that you are using a crappy firewall. Sure, it's better than windows firewall. Waving a big stick at your computer screen is better than windows firewall.I've found Norton Antivirus' firewall to suck as well. Used to have it, with a bunch of problems as a result. I switched to agnitum's Outpost firewall about 2 years ago and haven't looked back since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuTofDark Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 did you used Norton Antivirus` firewall or the Norton Personal Firewall? because it`s a big difference.this:http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/pr...mp;pvid=npf2006 ?as i heard Google uses Symantec firewall as well.

SympathysSilhouette Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Norton Antivirus` firewall and it lead to configuration problems galore.With outpost, I configure the rules for every application and process once, and never have to bother with it again untill the application has significantly changed.

OuTofDark Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 it`s only a small suggestion.when you`re thinking of changing it ..you can try Kerio for a while and maybe you`ll be pleased by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
