Problem with Zone Alarm Free Firewall

Post by KenWA »

I have been using the latest version of YoWindow and ZA Free on my PC with Windows 7 64 bit for 8 months. Since updating to ZA build 768 last week I find that it sets up an alert every time YW tries to update the weather. This is somewhat annoying although it does no harm. Sine it seemed to be occurring with the current version I uninstalled ZA and installed an older version (build 078) but the problem persists. So I uninstalled YW and downloaded and stalled the latest version but the same thing happens. Since it does not seem to be the latest ZA could it be the latest YW (3S - 150)?
Is it possible to find an older build that I can try?

I think it has more to do with the settings in the firewall...

Go into your programs section of the firewall...

Change the settings for YoWindow to 'always allow' or something to that effect...

YoWindow takes the weather data using Flash ActiveX component of Internet Explorer.
Zone Alarm seems to setup to block this activity as suspicious.
Please check Zone Alarm settings or contact their support team.
No, there's nothing related to thi.s problem was added in the latest build of YoWindow.
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.
