Large Zip files in Internet Logs folder...
in [Firewalls]
|
From: Atreyu on 8 Jul 2006 15:36 I understand that Zone Alarm creates and uses this folder. The zip files all start out with the name VSMON_2nd (then date stamp).dmp.zip with one exception: tvDebug.zip. These files add up to over 60 megs and I sure could use the hard drive space. All the VSMON zip files were created in 2005; the tvDebug file was created in June 2006. Is it safe to delete these files and not disrupt Zone Alarm (free version) from working? Also, is there a suitable alternative to ZA? Many thanks in advance to all who respond.

Depending on your environment, there is a good chance that you don't need ZA at all. Please take the time to read some of the previous posts about ZA or personal firewalls in general - otherwise ask your question in a dedicated ZA forum.
From: Atreyu on 8 Jul 2006 23:08 Thanks, B., for your time and response. Did you mean it is safe to delete the files I mentioned? Also, did I post my query in the wrong newsgroup? I did not find another newsgroup dealing with firewalls generally nor personal firewalls. Nor did I see one specifically dealing with Zone Alarm as you suggested. Further, I did search this NG for an answer before I posted, as well as searching the web. I sincerely apologize if I've posted inappropriately in this NG. "B.

You can delete them inside the interface. Make cleaning out the Internet Logs folder part of your maintainance routine. http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=gen&message.id=32781 Lots of good information there. charlie R
