Keith;

     Keep blocking 'em.  Eventually you'll get all blocked.  HAH!!  That'll
be the day.  :)

     Until then you can check the Privacy box in the Alert Announcement so
it will not bother you.  Or open ZoneAlarm, click Privacy then the Cookies
"Custom" button.  At the botton of the displayed pannel you'll se Privacy
Advisor.  Unchecking it will turn off the Alert Announcement.  It will
continue to block but it will not bother you.

     Turning off the Provacy Advisor will not stop Alert Announcements on
"Outgoing" attempts.  You must weigh what it is.  Write the name down so you
can change it if needed in the 'Programs' tab in the Program Control
section.  Look for "More Information".  Click it will take you to
ZoneAlarm's extensive database of information.

     Hey!  I just received a ZoneAlarm Security Update notification.  I'm
off to update...joe  :)

PS: Sorry for all the OT stuff.
