Zonealarm security alert not show how to#

Readers can quit there if that's all you want to know. Short story: After 3+ hours on a chat on Saturday I finally broke through to McAfee that one, this is a bug, and two it needs to be fixed soon.

Zonealarm security alert not show how to#

Please tell me how to disable this annoying alert ASAP!!! I have no interest in running Personal Firewall or SiteAdvisor on my PCs. I only run Security Center and Virus Scan. I do not and will not turn on Windows Firewall, nor will I pay for or install McAfee's Personal Firewall product. I need a reliable way to turn off this alert to get back to the state I was in with the earlier McAfee version.

I have a very robust hardware firewall installed between my home network and my cable modem and don't wish to waste precious CPU clock cycles running a software firewall that will accomplish nothing behind my hardware firewall. However, disabling the alert does absolutely nothing and I'm still getting the alert regularly.

I've tried to disable the 'firewall off' alert under Security Center -> General Settings and Alerts -> Protection Alerts -> 'Don't show an alert when firewall is off'. My issue is this after that recent update I started getting multiple alerts per day about the windows firewall being turned off that I didn't get with the prior version. I'm currently running version: 10.5, build 10.5.178, affld:0, language: en-us, last updated. Some time about a month ago my McAfee Security Center autoupdated to a newer version.
