I used Zone Alarm with JFW for the last 2 plus years. I did not find it JFW
friendly at all!
Several times I had to restore my system because of things I missed when
trying to up date Zone Alarm. Zone Alarm does not give you much choice when
trying to up date the program and so I would get caught into a Blind Alley
literally, no way out except to shut down the computer.
I had to get a sighted person to do the Zone Alarm up dates each time they
became available!
Trying to manage Zone Alarm is not a JFW friendly issue either because it is
not JFW friendly!
Zone Alarm is a great Firewall if I could have used it I would still be
using it!
One of the members of this list suggested I try Sygate Firewall and it is on
the JFWLITE web site.
I removed Zone Alarm and installed Sygate Firewall which has proven to be
much more JFW friendly, So I am now a Happy Sygate user! Sygate is just as
versatile and powerful as Zone Alarm and Sygate is also FREE!
The big plus for Sygate is that I can manage it with out any assistance!
There does not appear to be any script for Zone Alarm.
I am running Windows XP home version, Pentium 4, 512 Meg RAM, 60 Gig of free
hard drive space, JFW 5.00.812.

JAWS, and could anyone provide any tips for using it with JAWS?
