I'm clean

Ron,
    I'm confused as to why you can't configure ZoneAlarm. Did you try right
clicking on the icon in the taskbar? When I do that I get a small dialogue
window with 4 choices. If I choose "Restore ZoneAlarm Control Center" I have
access to the settings I'm looking for. Am I missing something?
