No, I find the warnings accessible. For example, on installing a
Windows update for Internet Explorer 7, the next time I clicked on IE
I received a warning from ZoneAlarm saying something like "warning,
Internet Explorer is trying to access the internet. This programme has
changed since the last time it ran". I then had the options to
"allow", "deny". In addition I had the option to check a box enabling
my choice to be added to ZoneAlarm's list of allowed programmes, i.e.
a box labelled "remember this setting". Sometimes I've had to tick the
box several times before ZoneAlarm stores my choice. This is a little
irritating but it doesn't alter my overall opinion that ZoneAlarm is a
reasonably accessible product.
Regards,
Kevin
JPS; is there another product which you would recommend given your
concerns about the accessibility of Zonealarm?
