ZoneAlarm Update




An update report from a Diary contributor says: "The affected version of ZoneAlarm was 5.5.094.000. The newer fixed version of ZoneAlarm is 5.5.094.000 (hey it looks the same!) Why they couldn't just use that fourth numbering component and change .000 to .001 is a mystery. If you download the file, right-click on it and look at the properties, the broken version of ZoneAlarm Pro will be file version '5.5.94.0' and has the description 'ZoneAlarm Pro-1025-English'. The newer version will have a description of 'ZoneAlaram Pro-1043-English'. For the freeware ZoneAlarm, the newest update available to download has a description of 'ZoneAlarm-1013-English'. I don't know what the description value was for the affected version."
Thanks for the contribution!
