Zone Alarm May be Giving Me problem
I get the blue oops screen a lot. If I restart my T30 thinkpad, the problem usually goes away. But the longer my machine stays on, the greater the possibility of the blue screen.

When I shut down zone alarm, I can get all websites again. Is there an adjustment with zone alarm. Can anyone suggest a better free firewall?

Thanks,
Jeff

I don't want to sound negative, but the times I tried to install ZA it crashed my system, sooner or later, but it did. I donīt find that firewall easy to setup. At least for me.

Try Sygate, it is old and discontinued but it still does the job!! and easy to set up, basically you install it and grant or deny access to programs as you open them
