I eventually erased it right yesterday as it did not work fine for me. It's heavy and far than being customizable according to my needs popping out alerts that shouldn't have been shown according to the rules given. I guess that Zone Alarm is the best firewall ever... so far. Oh... I run Webroot Firewall on XP SP2 Pro. I tried Webroot Firewall 5.5 since when this article came out.

So far no problems using it. Anyway an update to version 5.5.10.20 from version 5.5.10.8 was made available and I downloaded this update w/c seems to be a Setup Launcher smilar to the original installer. So my question is do I need to uninstall old version/build before installing this update or just insall it over the top? Thanks. Finally I installed it on my vista. So far no problems using it.
