Jeez man,I managed to type out such a detailed test results sheet and damn,I was logged out b4 I posted .So,here is somewhat a summary of the tests.
The test machine used was Win 2k Pro with SP3 + ZA Pro (6.0.667.000)+Avast Free + Huawei modem's built in firewall.
Achtung!
Dont download the copycat test in the webpage.My Avast AV detected it as a trojan
Also,Disabling IE did help,bcoz some tests make use of exploits in IE ....so,if u have disabled IE in ur system,it means there are less vulnerabilities for the hackers to get hold of .
All the tests but one when run, managed to trigger alerts from ZA Pro (which means I can either accept it or deny it) which indicate that indeed my system is safe Cool
And well,the other test (where packets are sent from my PC) that managed to bypass the firewall,is because I have set the TCP/UDP ports as open to enable Shareaza.So,I guess u shud have a trade-off.
Maybe u shud try with these tests with ZA Personal edition and post the results here.
TAFN.
Keep the thread goin
Adios
