Download Free Firewall from ZoneAlarm!

Download Free Firewall from ZoneAlarm.

Hey guys,

If you're looking for a free firewall software then try Zone Alarm.

I have been using their free software for couple of years now and my PC have been relatively free from spyware, virus etc.

Click here to download it now.

The first thing that I do when I got my new PC, I'll normally download AVG antivirus and also Zone Alarm Firewall at the same time before I install anything else. I always advice the same thing to my friends and colleagues at work.

Even if you're a gamer, you can change your setting on the fly to "game mode" so that it won't be intrusive while you're gaming or launching the game. Normally, you'll need to select the options for allowing some data coming in or out of your system with other Firewall but you won't need to do that with Zone Alarm "game mode".

The Free version do come with certain feature turned off but you can always upgrade if you want to.

This is definitely one of the best Free Firewall out there and as a long-time user myself, I certainly recommend you to download it.

Click here to download it now.

It's not a trial version where you can only try it out for couple of months. You can use it for as long as you want. For basic Firewall protection it still offers good protection for your work and home pc. Check it out now!

Have a good safe internet day!

Re-building my house

NO, I don't mean building a house literally. But, reformatting and rebuilding my system up again. With all the patches online. It's going to take me a couple of weeks to set-up everything back to where it was. Albeit, with some changes.

As, I've posted before, my pc have been infested with malware virus that I can't seem to get rid of. I tried scanning, downloading all the anti-virus software out there but it just won't f***ing disappear!

Finally, I've decided to reformat my whole drive today. Before, anything happen I had already back up my music and some important files. But, I know some of it I can download again online. The thing is, it also mean that some of the program I am using currently is gone!

For example, my browser bookmarks has all gone and although I had actually bookmark it safe at http://del.icio.us it's still kind of troublesome and I'm trying to find out how I can transfer it back to my browser bookmark. But, I guess at least all my bookmark can be access again online. Just goes to show how important del.icio.us is to me.

After reformatting my drive the first thing I did was to go to http://www.download.com and find a couple of free antivirus, malware and firewall to keep my pc secure again.

I decided to try other company beside the one I had used before since, they didn't protect me in the first place. If you're interested you can check out some of the software I found and am using below.

Here's some of the site or software I'm currently using >>
Note: Links will bring you directly to the download page. Product info
can be read on the page. All you have to do is click the "download" link!

Firewall :
Comodo Firewall Pro

Antivirus Software:
ThreatFire Free Edition

Antivirus Software:
Avast Home Edition

These are what I'm currently using right now. And best of all it's Free. Of course, if you want better protection you can opt to upgrade to a paid version.

By the way you can go to http://www.download.com and search for more software. There are Free and also paid version. I highly recommend you to visit it. Rather then wasting your time searching the whole of the Internet.

Another, crap that I had to put up with is that now, I have to re-install iTune and apparently, I have to download and sync everything all over again especially my favorite video podcast. But, iTune didn't recognize my pc and it actually ask me if I wanted to erase my ipod as in reformatting my ipod all over again!

Yeah, right. Would I want to erase almost 30gb of music and movies on my ipod !!!??

Why can't they just act and sync with the freaking ipod without asking me stupid question!

Only with Apple product would you have to put up with all this security thingy that's actually making it hard for the mere mortal. I have always thought that Apple product are only for the exclusive. I actually advice my friend and warning him before he decided to buy an ipod to beware that what he has to go through just to put music inside his ipod if he decide to buy it.

My advice to him is to get other type of Mp3 players that's not too cumbersome to transfer music like the ipod is.

Argg.. my life seems to be in chaos because of this virus. So, finally I hope that I can now start surfing and doing my work online again without anymore trouble.

Got to get back to where it was before!

I guess that's all for my ranting today. It's already almost 12 am midnight and I'm going to take a good nice sleep before starting my online work again starting tomorrow morning!

Take care and have a great Sunday!

Oh, yeah by the way. Another week and it's going to be 'Eidul Fitri!

So Happy Eid to all muslims all over the world. May peace be upon you!

Life is a jihad itself..

My Virus week

Finally, today. I think I manage to delete a couple of viruses, spy ware from my pc. For a week, I've been grappling with this problem. I scanned with AVG spy ware and virus free software. It took me almost a week of keeping at it.

I don't know how I got it. Could be my nephew inadvertently downloading it or my brother. Of course, nobody admit it. But, slowly I manage to find all these pesky virus and deleted it. Argg.. my life been a mess this week. I couldn't do all the 'normal' surfing. Everyday, I "On" my pc and keep scanning to find the stupid virus who seems to be able to escape the scan.

Today, my friend was supposed to borrow me his Norton Anti-virus software but he didn't reply my call and somehow today, the virus seems to have been found and deleted. I'll have to wait and see how it goes. So far, so good though.

My advice to you guys is to download AVG free anti-virus software. The good part is that it's free and also you'll be able to update the software every time there's new updates. This is done automatically. They also have free Firewall and Spy ware software.

New virus are created almost everyday. Attacks are almost daily. I look at my firewall log and there's already 38502 intrusions!

I'm using ZoneAlarm Firewall software. It's pretty good and you can get it for free too. Of course the paid version is better if you're interested.

All in all I have a complete set of security suites for my pc but still some viruses are still able to get through. Most of the time though it's more of a human error then anything else. This is my pc but my brother and sometime my nephews when they come over, I let them play online game with it. That's when sometime these kids just surf all over the place and if you don't check out on them they could be doing something dangerous. Like the other day, I found out that one of my nephew wanted to fill up a form to purchase something online!

She almost gave up her phone number and address without anybody knowing it. Sometime, when a window ask them to click "Ok" to download 'stuff' they'll think it's okay and just click 'yes' without any thought.

Parents or guardian should always check out on their kids when they use the pc. As, you never know. I have always remind my brother and nephews to not just click 'yes' to everything. I keep telling them to just close the pop-ups and click 'no' to everything instead!

It has been a crazy week but I hope things are back to normal again by next week.

Of course, next week the Fasting month will start on Thursday or technically speaking it should be on Wednesday night. We follow our Islamic calendar.

Well, got to go. Have a nice day!
