Free Zone Alarm firewall for WIN 10

[spud]

When I installed WIN 10 I followed up with AVG and Zone Alarm firewall which I have been using with Windows for many years.  Quickly found out the WIN 10 prevented me from installing Zone Alarm.
Just checked and found a new version is available the works with WIN 10.

Free version is the second from the bottom or the bottom file if you want firewall and anti-virus combo.

Spud,

     So you installed windows 10 from what 7 or 8 ? I try here gone from windows 7 pro, and that was it after the load "Couldn't get my FSX up and running" yea I reloaded every thing, wouldn't even take it in default fsx ? got this menu popup " The Program Stop working Correctly" pass it on to Help MS and sent emails and still waiting for reply " Its been 3 weeks now.

         Yea I dump the window 10 got things back in order and my Orbex and yes FSX all okay .
         By the way when loaded windows 10 had to play with the display two monitors to get back, and my skype did not work at all, could not even get a update ..and of course FSX was my main thing never got running, started then 5 sec later up pop that menu .

          So just wondering what you may have heard window7pro guys going to windows10 ?

Hi Dale,
     I have 16 failed attempts to upgrade my Win7Ult to Win10.  I turned off/disabled the upgrade.  And good luck getting help (or a response) from M$. 

[spud]

Not exactly sure what Dale's problem is but Jeff's is "probably" an easy one to solve and if I'm understanding Dales post being the same problem I can give you the answer.
If you have the WIN10 upgrade downloaded already then use that.  Personally, I got tired of waiting for "my turn" to come up from Windows to install WIN 10 in my WIN7 64bit system so I downloaded the Media Creation Tool 64 from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

and installed the WIN10 OS over my WIN7 64bit  (be sure and download the correct 64 or 32 bit version)

Now for Jeff's inability to get it installed:  Are you aware that there is a program in your ORBX folder that will prevent correct installation of WIN10?  Search for a program named TODO.  If you have that program just delete it completely from your hard drive.  The folder is empty and contains no files but it prevents WIN10 from installing and reverts back to WIN7 or 8.  Once the TODO program is deleted WIN10 should install without any problems.

Yep, I did that before the attempt number 16 failure.  I think it was you that said that before, and I tried it.  No joy.  It gets halfway through the process of installing device drivers and features (or something like that), then stops and reverts to my previous version.  I do have a copy of the install on a DVD, for a manual attempt.  That also did not work.  I don't want Windows 10 bad enough to keep flogging the horse.  Done with it.  My system is working great so far, until support eventually will run out.  Maybe it will be working by then.  If it ain't broke, . . .

Thanks Spud and Jeff,

     I checked the TODO folder, nonewas on my computer at all. And also I could load Windows10 okay all went in okay, except had to reset the monitors up and put the sizes back. My problem is FSX getting to run, reloaded the hole thing, checked at Default settings after cleaning all things for fsx off the computer, load FSX then start it up goes into 30 sec's of start up pops a menu stating This Program Stop working Correctly, will close..

     It wouldn't be bad BUT whats stop working correctly means ? That could be any thing lol lol Yea I checked drivers for the display and what I had for windows 10 all cleared. So I didn't need anymore time in this deal of 8 hours, so went back to something that works lol lol and that was HE@#  windows 10 did a lot of changes , spend 4 hours getting things going on window 7 pro..

       If we look at Google seems a lot of guys also having the same error and WAITING for MS to reply , I guess when I am 90 get reply then wont give a hoot lol lol

                             Thanks Guys for the comments tho and least here people talk and get a reply lol lolMaybe not what you may not want to hear but they Care.

                                     Thanks Dale "RangerDale"

Hi Dale,
     In my opinion, someone needs to vastly improve the error reporting and solution system, rather than making so many damned first person shooters and MMO's.  It should automatically detect the errors, give accurate details of what happened, and know how to fix it.  Also, programmers should learn from the past, and build more stable programs.  Everyone is just in the business of making money.  Why do we have to google solutions found by other users.  Googling answers from MS almost never produces results, and it is their operating system.  Boo!

My question is why would you want to 'upgrade' a perfectly good OS like Win 7 in the first place? I can see changing from Win 8 or 8.1...I hate that OS...but with Win 7 why not stick with the Devil that you know rather than the Devil that you don't? Oh, yeah, now I see. The same reason you rushed out and bought P3DV3. How's that working for you?

OUCH!

[jeff3163]

Because we believe that people are out there fixing bugs and improving the system.  We also believe that this time will be different, and things will be fixed (or better).  Silly isn't it.

WIN 10(64) upgraded OS.  I did the upgrade of two reasons, for the first year of its release it is at no cost to upgrade.  If you wait longer than that it will incur buying the OS.  WIN7(64) while a good OS is now dated and support will cease in the future at which time you will break out your wallet and switch to 10 anyway.  In addition by the time I figure out how to use WIN10 my maker will give me a call so I wanted to get as early a start as I could.
FSX performance has not been affected when compared to WIN 7(64) still the same old unfinished flight sim as always with its warts and scars intact.
