Zone Alarm Scumbags?

jeckgo · 02-02-2006, 06:20 AM

I just got a message from ZoneAlarm....................some nasty virus due to go off on the third of February..................

It seems that I have to pay them$19.95 for the "non-free" version to be "protected"

It is at this point in time that most ship's rodents look for a line or a liferaft?

ZA just blew it IMO?

it's a virus that's supposed to delete your microsoft office documents as well as pdf's and I dunno what else, anyways symantec has a free ersion somewhere, my uncle sent me the exe for it

It's the Kama Sutra virus. It corrupts .psd, .zip files etc. Read more about it here http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/nyxem_e.shtml you can also download a program to get rid of it. Download F-Force, then Latest.zip. Extract the contents of F-Force.zip to a folder and then copy the whole Latest.zip to that folder, note the fact that you have to put the .zip file itself to the folder not extract the files to the folder.

So they are sumbags because they want you to pay for the hours of work they spent?

Sorry, but i agree with **********, i use zonealarm, i have for ages and am sure i will for a long time to come. I have never had any serious issues so trust them completely. It must cost enough money for answers to resolve virus issues so its only right that at last they get something in return
