Settings in ZoneAlarm
Behold. All the needed ZoneAlarm settings. Check your list very carefully and make sure you catch'em all!
Some might not make any kind of sense (as in, why the heck would Acrobat reader deactivate my CS4?) but take my word for it. There's a bit of evil in everyone. And in our case, that little bit is enough to drive you mad.
#1: Entries that need to be KILLED. You get to the kill option by clicking the "Trust Level" column next to the name of the application, and selecting kill. That way, ZA will prevent that application from ever running.
The settings next to Adobe Updater need to look like this:
Does this mean you won't be able to update CS4? Yes. I suggest you do not update the software, as new updates may bring new ways of trashing your activation blocks.
While you're at it, feel free to do this as well, it'll feel really good:
Ok, moving on.
#2: Entries that need to look like this:
(if you have multiple entries of any one program, the above and below goes for all copies of the entry)
- Activation Licensing Service
- ANYTHING starting with „Adobe“ including Adobe Setup, Adobe Version Cue, etc.
- AIRAPPLICATIONRUNNER.EXE
- Contribute CS4
- GPUSNIFFER.EXE
- IMPORTERPROCESSSERVER.EXE
- PHOTOSHOPSERVER.EXE
- SNIFFER_GPU.EXE
You might not have some of these, depending on your installation, but basically, if you have ANY of them, block them. You might wonder what to do about Dreamweaver (which needs to go online if you're using it to upload your work), or certain things that might work better with internet access, like flash player 10 or Contribute, which is basically an online thing. I don't have an answer for that. So far, I've experienced no problems when temporarily letting them go online when they absolutely need to or they'd be useless but there's no way to guarantee Adobe won't sneak something into them eventually during that small online window.
Any questions can be posted in comments or sent to CorruptSuite4@gmail.com.
