General discussion

Zonelabs will fix ZoneAlarms' Auto Update

by Donna Buenaventura Nov 21, 2003 5:54PM PST

There's been a lot of discussion about Zone Labs' implementation of the "Check for Update" feature in the new versions of ZoneAlarm, ZoneAlarm Plus, and ZoneAlarm Pro. We've heard your feedback that you want an easier way to completely disable--at your choice--"Check for Update".

Obviously, we recommend that you always run the most up-to-date security products. However, the choice of how to check for such updates is entirely your decision--whether automatic or manual.

So--we'll be making changes in our products. Engineering has to review and confirm the various timeframe and implementation options. When that's done--early next week--we'll report back to let you know what's going to happen when.

Thanks for your patience and your feedback!
