7/24/2023 0 Comments Zone alarm pro 5.5I've got a LinkSys router/switch/firewall that i put between my internal LAN and the cable/dsl modem. Never once did it report blocking anything that would have been harmful. I also studied the logs from it over a 6 month period and discovered that the only things it blocked were completely harmless anyway. I stopped using ZoneAlarm years ago because it was a resource hog and it itself was slowing my computer down far more than any malicious outsiders were. If it merely prevents you from getting information back from a site, it might still slow you down while that site is being accessed for information you'll end up not receiving. But then again, i don't know exactly what ZoneAlarm does when it blocks. It seems to me that having ZoneAlarm block them entirely could only help. While i assume this speed (or lack thereof) problem is probably rare and only hits small sections of the 'net at any given time, it does still affect some people badly. After i blocked them, these forum pages started loading in mere seconds rather than minutes. At one point it was taking several minutes for these pages to load and i found the culprit was 's slow response. In fact, that's the main reason i blocked them. Maybe you've got some network problems in your neck of the globe that slow down your communication with and make the pages stall while waiting for their stuff. That being said, i have zero trouble accessing this site. I see no sites or ads or anything from them and i certainly get no cookies from them. All i can say is that nothing from comes down my line into my network or my PC.
