Any problems with Firewall Software and Solidworks?

Any problems with Firewall Software and Solidworks?

Any problems with Firewall Software and Solidworks?

(OP)
I was interested to see if anybody has had any problems with SW running and having a program like ZoneAlarm (firewall software) running. We are updating our internet and internal security due to the number of hackers and viruses because of the number of clients we deal with and vast number of interfacing via internet (email, websites, customers own mrp systems ect..) Has it interfered with the performance and has it caused crashing ect.. Hopefully others are interested in this topic as well. Thanks

RE: Any problems with Firewall Software and Solidworks?

I've allready seen problems running SW, giving a strange memory error message, on a local PC. This error stoped after stoping the firewall services of McAfee Firewall. After that SW worked successfuly (no further test where carried out to confirm the correlation).

Regards
