C:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs contains the Zone Alarm log files. I have been using ZA for a couple of years and my folder has a combined total of 1.8mb in 4 files all dated today: backup.rdb     658kb lamdb.rdb     658kb OEMCOMPUTER.ldb  552kb ZAlog.txt       1kb What does yours contain that is different than mine?

Oops, sorry about the double post. Had a problem with getting the spaces after the file names and the file size. Bryan

Bryan; rDB (w/numbers) TMP (80 of them) Make up most of the entries. With the recent update of Z/A 3.1.291 not protecting Mailsafe .exe attachments, are you comfortable with that? I am led to believe version ZAF 2.6. did in fact protect .exe. I am tempted to stay with 2.6. What are your views? Take care,

JimmieC. Any of the files that are not dated with today's date can be deleted wihtout any concern. The previous version of ZA's Mailsafe covered (on my machine) 46 different extensions including .exe The new version only does one .vbs. I have already upgraded and apparently there is no going back once you do. I upgraded to the newer version of Script Sentry to cover several extensions that are no longer covered by ZA. In my opinion, if I had known that the new ZA Mailsafe did not cover the 40 something extensions, before I upgraded, then I would have stayed with the older version. You can see the number of or specific extensions covered by mailsafe by going to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\MailSafe Extensions In the registry. Mine are still listed but they are not covered anymore. I tested them to find out for sure. Bryan Bryan

Bryan; Thanks for the information you shared. I think I am going to stay with the 2.6 version of Z/A. At least for now. Thanks again, Take Care.

When your zone alarm (ZA..) log gets too big, just open it in a text editor (eg NoteTab, great fabulous can't-live-without freeware on the net) and delete everything. It's in text format. I have three log files, one is from Zone Alarm, one is from MS Access (.ldb) and the other is called lamdb.rdb - looking at the latter in Quick View plus, can make out the words "win95"... "Dane"... "All Users" and "[EVERYONE]", no idea what that is, it's from a week ago. Dane

Bryan; "I have already upgraded and apparently there is no going back once you do." Can you not un-install the 3.1 version if you choose, and install 2.6? The older version may be available to you at this link: http://download.com.com/3000-2092-8034258.html?tag=list Sorry I don't know how to make this address a click/a/link. Take care,

Yes, you can uninstall V3 and go back but you never get the mailsafe extension protection again. I believe the extensions are installed so in the event you decide to upgrade to the Pro version the registry entries will already be there. I have grown to like the new version better than the previous. Particularly, the new version does not flash the little 'a' everytime you get hit. It is 'quieter'. Also, after using it for a week or so now I have not experienced any disconnects with my cable modem. It was suggested in other posts that the old version had this effect. I could never actually attribute the disconnects to ZA but I have not had one since the new version. Bryan
