| | Zonealarm and Vista Zonelabs Zonealarm firewalls on XP-systems delivers a constant flow of blocked attempts to access the computer. Another computer with windows vista also uses Zonealarm but the there are absolutely no blocked attemps listed in the log-windows. What's the reason: Is the firewall badly installed or does vista block the attemps before the firewall does so...? Thanks -- Gerhard Felsing |
