Turn off ZoneAlarm mailsafe in Outlook

Friday, March 30, 2007

If like me, you use ZoneAlarm as a personal firewall to protect your PC, you'll want to have the latest updates.

After upgrading to the latest version today, I noticed a new function - 'MailSafe', which is a great idea as it allows for sorting spam from genuine e-mails, warns on viruses etc...

However if like me, you already have spam-filtering in place, you might not want to use MailSafe.

I tried to turn it off in the obvious way - start ZoneAlarm, go to the 'Email Protection' tab and click on the 'off' radio button. Next time I started Outlook? MailSafe still started - not good!

This is how I turned it off:

In Outlook, click 'Tools'
Click 'Options'
Click the 'Other' tab
Click 'Advanced Options'
At the bottom you'll see a few buttons - click the one called 'Com Add-Ins'
Click on the 'Buddy Toolbar' entry
Click the 'Remove' button or just uncheck the Buddy Toolbar option to disable
