Recently I installed ZoneAlarm Pro on my Windows system , about a week and a half ago I'd say . Just fishing for ideas as to why ZA says it's blocked Zero access attempts . I think I've stuffed up somewhere .
Some details: I said yes to turn off the Avast Web Shield Transparent Mode Proxy , which I believe is correct for using ZAPro ; I was asked the question so that seemed the appropriate response . Privacy Control in ZoneAlarm is set to OFF. After installing ZA Pro I checked to see if Avast! web shield was scanning ; NO . I use Firefox exclusively, except for MS Updates , IE . So I did the work around : HTTP Proxy - localhost . Port 12080 for Firefox , and Internet Explorer / Broadband .
The thing is that Zone Alarm doesn't list any access attempts , as I said above . Is that correct , doesn't seem right to me ? Everything is working , i.e. Mail , IE , Firefox , Thunderbird , I just expected I'd see a list of Blocked access attempts from ZAPro , on the Overview /Status page which is curious . That is the only problem , nothing else , except that with ZAPro Privacy control off I thought I would not need to enable a Proxy ?
Any ideas greatly appreciated !
