It is amazing that whenever someone asks a question invariably the trolls answer first. Nothing else to do? You remind me of all the 'specialists'. Why don't you upgrade and spend an absurd amount of money WITHOUT knowing whether a piece of software you would like to use or get to know ( better) is the piece of software you really need? Usually you get a response like this because people really do not know what they are doing beyond being able to use a tool.

Oh b.t.w. ZoneAlarm is a product made by CheckPoint. Not really a crap company, get your facts straight.

I am just happy you're not working with my clients, my friend, they would most likely kick your block off. And rightfully so.

So is there someone with a proper attitudeable that can help me with this?
