Problems with ZoneAlarm v. 7.0 Marshall Tessnear 12-18-2007

I've been using ZoneAlarm (the free version) for over a year with no
problems. Last week they released a new free version which I downloaded and
installed, and since then when I boot up my laptop, Internet Explorer (and
other internet programs) will not connect to the net, at least until I get
this message that 'services.exe' wants to access my computer, after which
everything will work fine. I've checked the settings in ZoneAlarm for IE,
and they seem to be as recommended (access allowed for Trusted and
Internet), but still won't connect. I'm running Win2000 Professional for
the operating system, IE 6.0, and AVG for virus and spyware protection.
Any ideas as to a solution to this? Thanks.

Is that a belief or did you somehow verify that?

Preventing IE from connecting to the net sounds like a nice feature.

access your computer from where?

Replace ZA by a simple packet filter like WIPFW from
http://wipfw.sourceforge.net/ or (if you don't need to do any local
networking) shut down your network services. There are several tools
available to help you do so - one is SeconfigXP (works also for W2K).

Consider dumping IE in favor of something better (Firefox, Seamonkey
or Opera).
