Zone Alarm Security Suite PC.Doctor's Ratings 4.5/5 VeryGood
You are working on a good day on your PC, suddenly you see that your antivirus has expired, you install ZoneAlarm Security Suite, impressed by the increasing publicity and rating of it.
Result- Now you are surprised and very happy with your new Antivirus and with all your hurry you skip the tutorial and start using the product. But it is very important that you have a tutorial and once skipped you cannot view it. ( But you can still view it on the site or download a .pdf version of the tutorial, the pdf file version is not so bad http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/media/pdf/zaclient70_user_manual.pdf).
If you are experiencing some download problems on the Micreosoft Update site then, it is not your IE or Xp problem, but this problem is created by your recently installed program's small component "mobile code controll" initially disabled but in a hurry you enable it. There are uses like it blocks active page elements like Javascipt, VBscript, ActiveX component and mime type integrated objects that can be distracting or malacious but, there is a note given that it may prevent some pages from loading.
PC. Doctor's View
My view is that first install McAfee SiteAdvisor (it is free of cost), it shows red warnings which is true for near about 99% and for 1% it prevents us from viewing itbecause the sit may contain some valuable data. For the sites that you are sure that it may not contain any malware turn on this feature of "mobile code controll", with the option of high Firewall, Trusted zone Security, cookie controll and Ad blocking, the option of cookie bloking is also available in IE.
For more Details regarding McAfee Site Advisor, refer to its blog on the site. And send me your valuable views at varunfriend@gmail.com
