556050 2007-06-04 11:56:00 Hi...Just started up my machine and up popped a message from Zone Alarm saying they had a download. That was OK with me but it brought up the Z.A.
sign that says Allow or Deny...and that's where I goofed. I carefully marked Deny and added Permanent. My problem it to reverse that so that ZA can get in.
I went to the ZA Program Control page and found the ZA program at rhe bottom of the list

Zone Alarm Client ?? ??
Zone Alarm Updating ++ XX (the Plus signs should be tiks but my keyboard does not have tiks) I can change them but underneath there are mostly warnings. Would it be a mistake to change all those symbols to tiks?
I would be most grateful for any help....I've had a great run with ZA and would like to know that it's working properly.........Ken

556051 2007-06-04 12:55:00 if unsure change them to question marks
so you can decide next time if you want to allow or deny it permanently when it asks you
I do this when I can't identify the program I'm trying to block/unblock when simply looking at the list..

556052 2007-06-04 16:26:00 if theres a program on that list and you are not sure of whether you should trust it or not then get onto google.........however in this instance .......well i'm laughiing just a little.......here you are using zonealarm to stop zonealarm from working properly cause you are not sure whether to trust zonealarm ?......ummmm........ zonealarm is TOTALLY trustworthy drcspy (146)

Just click, and you get the choice of ticks.
It doesn't really matter though as you have only denied the update part of Zone Alarm.
And as it is a firewall, what the hell does it need to update for anyway?

556054 2007-06-05 00:39:00 If in doubt, open Zonealarm go to Program Control>Programs and delete the entry you don't want. Next time that item runs, ZA will prompt for instructions again and you can have another crack at getting it right.... :) johcar (6283)
