You CAN set Zonealarm NOT to pop up..Mine doesn't. Unless you WANT to know
at the time what's coming or going. If not you can stop the popups and go to
the firewall log to see what the actions were..it's constant and ongoing and
you can even watch when it happens.

I guess so now that it's been explained to me as Zone Alarm does that also -
it just seemed strange that the article seemed to differentiate between the
firewall and this 'application control software'. I'm beginning to think
that there are firewalls that only stop incoming and not outgoing and that
was what they were trying to cover - Zone Alarm pops up for me all the time
(sometimes annoyingly but I'll never complain!) so I have the 'notify me
every time' option turned off and it only shows when something is trying to
go out and of course is about 1/1000nd of the incoming attempts - thanks!

My Norton Personal Firewall... will notify me if any program I have is
attempting to access the internet..and I can say permit, block..and at that
time..have the option to check a box to say always use this answer for this
file.
Is this what you are talking about?

but they are saying in addition to the firewall and that's the software I
don't understand - thank you for reinforcing the need for a firewall
though - Dolores

All I have ever used is Zone Alarm so I don't know about any other firewall,
ZA stops the in coming and out go like this is talking about.
Sincerely Yours,

I'm not sure if this made it through yesterday so am sending again - I
apologize if it's a dup and no one has an answer at this time - thank!

I read an article regarding the deviation of the latest worm and in it
they
said the following:
"Further incidences of infection likely will be seen among home users with
digital subscriber lines (DSL) and cable modems, according to Magallenez.
"Firewalls alone are not sufficient protection," he said. "Users now want
to
incorporate three things into their personal arsenal: antivirus software,
firewalls and, becoming more important, application control software to
identify which applications are trying to access the Internet and allow or
deny permission."
What is an application control software and where can I find it - I have
the
antivirus and firewall of course but if this will also help prevent me
getting viruses I want to add it to my arsenal of security - thanks!
