Hi Liz > I am also having a problem with AOL and Zone Alarm. > What is a better solution? Or is there a firewall that will "play nice" with AOL? AOL Broadband users in the UK are given the option to download "McAfee Personal Firewall". I used ZoneAlarm alongside AOL 7.0 and AOL8.0 without any problems, but on moving to Broadband and AOL9.0, I found that Zonealarm did not seem to work smoothly with the new set-up. Hence, I took the McAfee option, and have found it plain-sailing thereafter. Hence, if I were in your position, I would seriously consider uninstalling Zonealarm and giving McAfee a try. Good luck.
