How to tell this thing to PISS OFF!?

**filburt1** · Apr 24th, 2002, 05:37 PM

I don't see the option for turning it off, and I already have disabled the XP balloons using TweakUI.

Um, don't make your privacy settings so damn high?

BTW, what's that 360? That your CPU temp?

Mem free

Me = no want teh ads, but that bloody popup is worse...

If would appear you have Zone Alarms Ad Blocking feature on

Turn it off...it slowed browsing down so much it's worse than the pop ups it is trying to prevent. Plus that bloody bubble thing is almost as bad in itself.

Well maybe on your poopy dialup it did

, no noticable slowdown here...

It was nothing to do with that, it was ZA crawling the HTML source which slowed it like a tortoise on hash

My best advise it to get yourself Norton PersonalFirewall

it has a nice ad blocking feature too so... the only annoying thing about Norton is that whenever some Sub7 "hacker" wants to get in, I see a blinking ! where the try icon is.. but that's it..

Apparently Norton doesn't verify outbound programs.

**filburt1** · Apr 28th, 2002, 11:04 AM

As in, you let a program through, then you put another program with the same size and filename - does it notice?

**chrisjk** · Apr 28th, 2002, 06:32 PM

not sure TBH...

I thought you just meant picking up on outbound attempts

**parksie** · Apr 28th, 2002, 06:33 PM

No they both block outgoing traffic, but ZoneAlarm actually verifies the content of the executable file; I don't know if Norton got their act together and put this in.
