Zone alarm..How do I know?
    #3600331 - 01/08/05 08:08 PM (19 years, 1 month ago)

How do I know zone alarm isn't just a program showing fake (not necessarily fake but some not really doing anything) random isp numbers of users trying to get into my computer rather than actually combatting attacks?

I mean, they can make a program that would mislead you into thinking your computer is being attacked just to make money saying they are blocking out phoney attackers. How do you know for sure?

zone alarm isnt like that read the reviews. I would get keiro, its better than ZA and most the ip's that show up are spyware programs trying to get info like search habits and shit like that.

I know there are better programs but how do I know they (the programs) aren't programmed just to show that hey my computer is being attacked, when in reality it isn't. See where Im going with this?

I wanna know if those ip addresses are really attacking my computer or is this program just saying they are to get me to upgrade.

they are just port scans...happens to everyone
and every soft firewall logs them.
jeez, not some big marketing conspiracy against you.
zone alarm sucks dick, but it is a firewall.

You can run 2 firewalls and get the same blocked IP's...that pretty much rules out they're making it up.
