A Couple Questions
Hello from Croatia
Im using BitDefender Total Security 2008
1. Can i disable the firewall and install ZoneAlarm Pro?
2. Can i install Spyware Sweeper?
Would the programs conflict?

About uTorrent
In uTorrent, i have a port opened for incoming connections ( 60001 )
How should i set the firewall?
What i did :
In firewall settings / traffic, doubleclick on both uTorrent.exe TCP/UDP / advanced / destination
adress / ports specific / 60001
Is that right? Should i do something with Source adress?

Trusted zones?
Im on a small private wireless network ( about 40 people ), mostly people i dont know and i wouldn't trust them.
How should i set the trusted zones?

I love this program, it found a trojan that my previous software didn't, and thanks in advance for
any advice.

Dear Shifty Gypsy,
1) You can disable BitDefender firewall but this will not be enough to avoid conflicts with zonealarm. I wouldn't recommend that you do that.
2) If it's the version without antivirus protection and firewall you can install it.
Yes you made a correct rule for utorrent.
You can only do something with the source address if utorrent may only contact to a certain ip-address which isn't the case here because utorrent needs to contact to other ip-adresses.
Trusted Zones
Is it your concern that other people might want to get access to your computer? You shouldn't worry because by default stealth mode is enabled so other computer in that network can't see your computer. You can block access to some of the other wireless connected computers by going to the trusted zones section of the firewall section and select search on local network. So you can untrust connections to that specific computers.
Best regards

Niels, thank you for your answer, im just unshure of the first questions
If i install BitDefender Antivirus 2008, can i then install Zonealarm pro, and Spy
Sweeper 5.5 ( Spyware sweeper 5.5 doesn't have antivirus )?
Have a good one, thanks0 -
Dear Shifty Gypsy,
1)No, I would not recommend that you install zonealarm pro firewall. Because even with BitDefender firewall disabled there still could be conflict with the zonealarm firewall driver which could cause that you can't boot your computer or that your computer is unresponsive.
2) Yes you can install Spy Sweeper 5.5 and let it run in realtime mode.
Is this clearer now?
Best regards

No problem, i should have used caps on ANTIVIRUS, but everything is working great, the program doesn't bother me, i like that.
Great job with everything, the forum looks great, KUTGW0
