Hate to keep bothering you, but right now I cannot re-install my original
ZoneAlarm version because I lost it in a crash where recovery disks deleted
everything. Do you think that there is a freeware availability of earlier
than the latest version of ZoneAlarm? Any idea which version that earlier
one is?
TIA...
