Your quite a piece fo work Dave.
And you're a smug, self-satisified fool who doesn't even understand how blinded by his own ignorance he is.
The "secret" server is acutally zonelabs.com, hence the workaround to edit the hosts file and map that domain to the loopback address. Do you know how windows hosts file works? No, here is link that may help you
Of course I know how the hosts file works. You're great at posting links to irrelevant articles that have nothing to do with the thread, but you're utterly unable to comprehend plain english.
The work around issued by zonealarm and their response to this list, is proof enough for me that there was an issue and probably quite a few other people. But not you Dave, eh?
This bit about "there being an issue" is not anything I have ever denied, and it is only because you are unable to understand plain english that you think I did. If you actually READ my first post in this thread, you would understand that I have never at any time denied that Zone Alarm has an auto-update feature built in. If you had actually READ Bob Cringeley's article you would see that he describes this as "surreptitiously sending encrypted data back to four different servers". My first post in this thread claimed that Cringely was spreading FUD, and had provided no evidence to back up his claim. You said he had done, but then you kept posting a link to a different article by someone who IS NOT CRINGELY. When I point out to you that you haven't actually contradicted what I said, you simply post the same link to the same irrelevant article by some entirely unconnected third party. No matter how many times you post that link, the article will not suddenly have magically been written by Cringely instead. Now go back over the thread again and ACTUALLY READ IT. You should probably get an adult to help you with the big words, otherwise you might end up not understanding what you're reading yet again. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
