[parachutestx]

Ok I got this alert from Zonealarm and I was trying to find out if ZA ess saved me ?

ZoneAlarm Security Suite has prevented access to port 7000 on your computer

ZoneAlarm Security Suite stopped Internet or local network traffic from reaching your computer. No breach in your security has occurred. Your computer is safe.  
 What happened?  
 
ZoneAlarm Security Suite blocked what was most likely a port scan by a remote computer trying to find out if a Trojan horse is located on your machine. The scan attempted to communicate with port 7000 on your computer, which is rarely used by legitimate programs. Rest assured, ZoneAlarm Security Suite has determined that there is no Trojan horse listening on 7000 of your computer.

As Eddy said, its just Zonealarm doing whats it suppost to do, what it is telling you above is that ZA thinks that someone is port scanning your computer looking for a Trojan on there that a user could use to gain access to your computer, the port it was scanning was port '7000' which is rarely used by 'safe' programs, so ZA checked your program control section and determined there was no Trojan on your computer.

To sum it up, your computer is safe.

This answer your question?
