[edit] Must be kidding
I have to change this: The current issue has caused a rumour that the Israeli government may be using ZoneAlarm to spy on people, since Check Point Software, the parent company of ZoneLabs, is an Israeli company. However "Iggy," a member of the ZoneLabs 'Team Z' help program, asserts that the rumor is incorrect [2].
Zone Labs have since posted a press release on their website, giving instructions for users to disable the covert communications while claiming that "no personal information is shared" and "doing this will weaken their security" - although no evidence was presented to support either of these assertions.[3]
Mentioning widespread rumors that were later proven untrue can be okay, but when the only source is a random blog (there's absolutely no indication that "Iggy" is really connected to ZoneLabs) and the rumor is seriously inflammatory, it doesn't work. The second part is also clearly POV. -Unknownwarrior33 03:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Driver issues
Some users report getting a BSOD from vsdatant.sys, which is believed to be used by ZoneAlarm. (Reference) 68.43.41.106 02:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Some mention that vsdatant.sys is related to ZoneAlarm would be useful, and remove the need for a vsdatant.sys entry (as requested on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences/Computer_science%2C_computing%2C_and_Internet). --Sgorton 18:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Is there anyway to configure it so that Zone Alarm starts when you log on, but not pop-up? Thanks. --Smoothtofu 23:38, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
