ZoneAlarm 8 and MJ call quality

Post by Razmear »

I recently had the automatic update to ZoneAlarm Internet Security 8 and since then I've noticed a decrease in call quality, kind of a fade in fade out effect on about a 2 second cycle.
My license is about to expire on ZA and I'm probably going to switch to a different IS Suite anyways due to some other ZA Annoyances. Right now I'm leaning towards Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 but still researching.

So the questions....
Does anyone else have ZAIS 8 and did you have the same problems and what did you do to fix them.
Do you have any other recommendations for a lightweight but effective IS Suite that is MJ friendly.
Any other tweaking ideas to improve call quality?

MJ finally came out with a local number for us, so I've already dropped the land line and am running straight DSL. However now due to call quality I end up using the cell phone for most calls.

System Info:
XP SP2
512 Ram
BellSouth 6mb/512kb DSL
Network hub for 2 PCs (no router, QOS or other fancy stuff, just a switch).

Thanks,
eb

I have been using ZoneAlarm Security Suite 2008 (v8.xx) for months and don't have any problems with MJ. The call quality is excellent.

Are you connect wireless to the router/internet? If yes, then the problem might be the radio/electromagnetic interferences. See my post below for recommendations:

Good luck
