Is This Zonealarm Firewall Working?

[mr00420]

I just downloaded ZoneAlarm Pro v3.7.098+ keys, and unzipped it, but now what do I do? After it unzipped I expected a program to begin installing or something. I can't find the program anywhere in my computer. Is it working? How do I know, and how do I use it? Help please!!!

First off have u got a virus checker or was this file verified? If no to both then its definitely worth getting a virus checker and scanning your system as it could maybe be a virus / trojan. Theres lots of topics about which is the best virus scanner (just do a search of the forum)

If its definitely an ok file:
If its installed it should probably be running in your system tray (bottom right) the icon is either a green and red vertical strip or a yellow and brown logo with the letters ZA.
If u didn't install it, its probably in a temporary folder somewhere and hasn't been installed. U could try using search or it might be in a folder somewhere in "documents & setttings \ Username" where username is ur login name
Either find it or unzip it again and remember where u save it to. Once its unzipped there should be a setup file in the folder which will install it i think.

Unzipping a file does not begin installing whatever is inside. Unzipping is compared to opening up your suitcase and putting your clothes on the bed; you still have to dress yourself.

Next time, pay attention to where you're extracting the files to.

Mate when unzipping files its best to right click the file and use them extraction options..u have control where u files go..also i think theres a newer version of zonealarm availible 4.xx.

If u do manage to get it installed u could test its working & configed properly

Got it... Thanks.
I tested it out w/ that NanoProbe site, and it seems to be working very well. Does a Firewall slow down DLs? It seems that since I've installed ZA Firewall, my DLs seem slower even when I use Speed-Up. If so, is there something I can do about it?
