Got ZoneAlarm Antivirus/Firewall working on Windows 8

Well seeing as how (to date) there is really nothing else out there that gives you any type of protection, 360 is the logical go to player so to say.

Please stop making clueless statements. You've made enough already before this.

OK, my bad, didn't realize you were the definitive genius in Computer protection!

Who I am or who I am not has no bearing on you showing your ignorance of the Windows 8 operating system so clearly as your quote in this post above.

Perhaps you should sorta quit while you're ahead type of thing. I've maintained being decent while being accused of things I'm not (hater) and gave you good knowledge, supported by even another bsod expert, which you seem to not want to believe for some strange reason.

That's not cool at all. Hope you take a moment to realize these things.

Gman, go here Blue Screen of Death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and I stand behind my statement that Windows ME was the LAST MS Operating system to have a BSOD, before Microsoft changed the color, and Wikipedia will bear me out on that staatement.

I have to ask because I honestly don't know: Is this post purposefully crafted to taunt me to respond in a negative manner? If not, I have to be honest with you as I quite often say and mean, the post is kinda dumb. If so, it was an ehhh alright, so-so attempt.

 

[Mike Lonewolf]

No, it was to educate you, you are making a claim that you have been BLUE screened i.e. BSOD in Windows 8cp, I am stating that is an impossibility, the last Operating System made by Microsoft to use the color BLUE for a system dump was Windows ME, and from my research at MSDN has determined no color has been decided yet for Windows 8 operating system for the system dump I. E. Screen of Death.

 

[GMan]

Let me make it easy for you to understand:

1) I made no such claim.

2) You are babbling with imbecilic nonsense.

Please stop to save any dignity you might have remaining. Please. Honest.

 

[Mike Lonewolf]

Please review post #34 in this very thread, you HAD indeed claimed that.

Dude, leave me alone. You're bothering me now with how stupid you are. I don't intend to be mean but I am not being mean lol.

As all my posts above have kept politely warning you to how stupid your posts are, I now feel I must just simply tell you straight out in language you can easily understand: Please don't bother me with your false nonsense any longer.

You have no understanding of Windows 8, no understanding of bsods, no understanding of anything much computer related as far as I can tell and I wish no longer to dispute this junk.

Mike since you quoted this source (which by the way is in need of citations (read proof) on most points why dont you cite the specific line or lines where your point was proven.

Why should we have to do your work.

By the way Dont we think this is slightly off topic ???

 

[GMan]

@Zigzag The ironic thing is on that very page it shows the bsod of Windows 8. lol Sometimes ya just gotta laugh it off I suppose.

If you are or ever were a Windows user, you’re likely familiar with the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). The bug check screen, with its lines of error codes, has been part of Windows since version 1.0. It has represented the crashing of computers — and the frustration of users — for decades.

The BSoD was never intended to be user friendly, though. It was made for engineers who wanted to figure out why a PC crashed. For the rest of the world, it signifies the downside of owning a Windows device.

The iconic Stop Error screen is getting a facelift with Windows 8. The redesigned OS also includes speed and stability improvements, a Metro interface optimized for touchscreens and an app store.

The new BSoD doesn’t include all of the bug checks or lines of code that have defined the error screen for years. Instead, the Windows 8 BSoD includes a giant sad emoticon and a simple message that “your PC ran into a problem” and that it has to restart.

We’re fans of the new error screen — it’s much clearer and more user-friendly — though I hope there’ll be fewer chances to see it. Do you like the new Blue Screen of Death.

I'll BE damned! I am wrong. I'll keep my mouth shut next time till I do my research. My apologies to you.

 

[GMan]

Mike, apology accepted completely.

Just to explain my side briefly: I've been doing what I do for a while and have a fair amount of success at it. It just gets a little frustrating to me because we were discussing the very primitive basics. As a good analogy, it would be like me trying to tell Derek Jeter or Pujols or Bautista how to hit a fastball. They do that every day while I do not.

Being a stand up dude is more important than anything so that's a huge plus towards your character.

I just wanted to make a quick report that I can successfully get any version (sku) of ZoneAlarm working well on Windows 8. I have it installed now and it is functioning perfectly.

In case anyone is interested, I can detail the process of how to do so. It is not for the install and simply make it work crowd. It's a bit of a process, you have to do this, that and the other thing, but once it is working, it is set and forget and all is well.

So yup, if anyone is seriously interested, I'll add instructions here by request.

I would most certainly be interested (& be grateful) if you would add instructions. (I found it already, many thanks)

GMan, I seem to be in the same difficulty as jrzpol (#27). Did you, by any chance, respond to him (may be privately?). Any insights and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
