Re: [RT] Zone Alarm

["Charles Meyer" <chaze@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Group-
 
eSignal tech support (a rep anyway) basically said 
that ZA is incompatible with their data feed.  I just called the guy 
who
built my computer and he CLAIMS I don't need ZA 
either BECAUSE I have D-Link Ethernet Router; which supposedly
acts as a firewall.  Especially since on the 
computer I am having problems; is not used for e-mail or web surfing.  
NOW;
just fwiw; I have learned that this is seemingly a 
'contrary opinion' but those with experience have told me that they 
much
prefer AVG over Norton for a anti-virus 
program.  I can't back up that claim; but it seems the geeks have bought 
into the
proposition that "Norton's The Best"; mantra; but 
feedback from those with ecclectic experience say AVG is the tops.
I don't understand the conflicting opinions; I'm 
just sharing feedback I've heard from experienced users.  Maybe it's 
what
these guys are doing with their computers; dunno; 
but the AVG feedback is from traders.  The guy who built my 
computer
said that Norton has the propensity to slow down 
one's system.  Thank you James for sharing your insights; and to 
the
others who have responded.
 
Best wishes,
Chas

  I concur with the recommendations of 
  mailbin.  In my experience, Zone Alarm can cause conflicts with other 
  communications software that are intermittent in character and thus hard to 
  diagnose.  I have found the program difficult to completely 
  uninstall.  While I do not use eSignal, IT professionals on whom I rely 
  suggest that traders who use real time data feeds may be better served by 
  protecting themselves with a good hardware firewall-router (which can 
  be purchased inexpensively) and the use of a good antivirus program 
  such as Norton AntiVirus 2004.  No connection to any of these companies - 
  again, just my personal experience.
