zonealarm hmmmm
heard alot of wlm signing problems related to this
so if you disable the firewall totally and see if wlm is not being blocked and try to sign in

Ok yea I'll try that...
Happen to know of any other GOOD free firewalls? ZoneAlarm has been a bit annoying recently but I'm strapped for cash at the minute.

windows defender beta 2
is the only good free one i know...
anyone else know.

Hmmm...completely uninstalled ZoneAlarm...but I'm still not getting anywhere with signing in O.o

O.O it works on my brother's (unused) account on my computer... This is weird.

Not too sure how...but I got it working!! I deleted a pile of stuff that I didn't need...defragmented my drive...did various disc cleanups...uninstalled old programmes...etc... & now it's working...not sure if doing all that sorted it...but it's working anyway!

great to know that

If he's happy with his current firewall, if it works alright, there is no need for installing a second firewall, especially not one that is still in beta.

Also, installing 2 firewalls makes no sense and in fact may corrupt things.

Moreover, firewalls are seriously overrated. In fact, you don't need any other firewall than the standard build in Windows firewall which does it job more than well enough for incomming traffic.

And deleting cookies and cache is not the job of a firewall tbh. If you don't want to use cookies or want them deleted (same with the cache), setup your browser correctly.

I was unaware that WD had firewalling capabilities, (I checked again, it doesn't have them) it's simply an anti-spyware-come-anti-virus-with-privacy-cleanup program.

Besides, it's made by Microsoft - it'd look pretty bad on them if they released a firewall program:
"So, Billy, I hear you've released a new firewall application - whats wrong with the built in Windows one which is supposed to protect users from threats?"
"Well with the Windows firewall we... umm... wanted to.... ooooh look at this, packet filtering!"

* andrewdodd13 really needs to invent a funny anecdote.

I agree with Cookie on the firewall point. I simply use the built in Windows XP one as well. (Well that's not exactly true, my wifi router has built in firewalling capabilities)
