Optimizing Zone Alarm for low performance systems
Posted on 23. Dec, 2006 by Sankaranand in Tutorials
Security threat over Internet has become high and there is a need for standard protection across computers.For users who use Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite, i have some tips for optimizing and tweaking its settings by which you can use it as compatible with your low performance or slower systems.
After installing the Zone Alarm Internet Suite, open it and
- Go to Email Protection, if you use external email client like outlook express etc then it is recommend to turn it on other wise turn off the radio buttons of the Inbound mail safe protection, outbound mail safe protection and Junk email.
- Go to Parental Control, unless your system is not used by any kid you can turn off Parental control.
- Go to Identity Protection and move the slider to Med. Generally you don’t need to give that importance for your identity but its best recommended to be at middle level.
- Now Go to Firewall and in the Internet Zone Security, move the slider to Med from High, you don’t want to be in stealth coz your are not that important to be traced
and also do the same for Trusted Zone Security. - ok lets come to the main part, the Anti Virus / Anti-Spyware. i personally believe that one doesn’t need a 24 hour spy ware monitor. Just turn off the Anti-spyware and leave the Anti-Virus untouched coz if you turn it off then there’s no reason of installing an AV. You can turn on the Anti-Spyware when you do a full system scan.
- Now go to Overview and in the preferences tab, uncheck the option Share my security settings anonymously with Zone labs.
Thats it now your slower system may seem little faster even after installing Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite.
