Just tried to runupdates for Search and Destroy and ZONE Alarm pops up and says: S & D trying to access internet New program. Is this ok to grant permission?

Then I tried to close and it said "can't be closed; being debugged" so I had to restart again...

Why does ZA asks this...do they do it any time you have to shut down and reboot? Because I did that earlier SINCE 'puter froze up and NAV must have run and showed some "stuff."

Anyhoo, do I need to give ZA permission for S&D to access the internet, every time I reboot??

Thanks much.


wonderer......Anytime one of your running programs tries to access the internet .....Zone-Alarm will detect that and ASK you if you WANT it to.........With a APP like SpyBot S&D you can tell ZA to let it and not ask you again....It's just doing its job......

Hope this helps you .

dl65 dl65 - thanks a bunch.

What do you mean about a "running program"?

I'm on my way over to grant my permission to ZA!
It's wish is my command....(on this one) wonderer....Running program is any program that is actually running .......as opposed to programs which may reside on your hard drive but do not run unless you open them .

Hope this helps
