601645 2007-10-15 04:01:00 If its Zonealarm, it would have poped up a box saying Firefox, IE , blah blah blah wants access to the internet, then either allow or deny. If you clicked Deny then yeah its zone alarm, if you didn't then its not.

Edit: just read your answer to the post - open zone alarm, on the left locate "program control" on the tabs far right select Programs. See whats blocked, or look for firefox IE or what ever is not working. RIGHT click the entry and delete it - accept the question to remove. Reopen firefox, IE and this time select "ALLOW" and place a tick in the "check box bottom left " always remeber this action - or words to that effect.
