Re: [OT] Zone labs firewall or other

[ian.bird@xxxxxxx]

Hi Justin

When this happens Zonealarm locks up the PC once the Zonealarm window
becomes active i.e. I click on it using remote control. By locks up I mean
the I cannot access other applications via remote control.  If you think I
can use your code to write a keypoke type program then please send it over.
At the moment though I am tending towards using a different firewall
without the problems although finding one is proving tricky.

I heard back from Zone labs and they said if I upgraded to the paid for
version then support would become available. I would do this if I knew I
would not have this problem so this is catch 22.

Ho hum.....

Ian

Ian,

it has been a while since I have used Zone Alarm, but I seem to remember
that,
if set up as a server, there was an option somewhere to have popups display
on
another LAN machine running ZA. Something like that anyway.

Failing that, maybe you could lash something up in VB which moves the
cursor to
the popup and does a left mouse click. I've just tried it out by selecting
the
start menu, and it's quite simple, just a couple of API calls. You could
then
fire off the app from your Radmin window.

Let me know if you want the code.

Cheers,
Justin.
