If you access "favorites" from the start/favorites. You
are useing Windows Explorer to connect to the net. That is
the only time my Sygate firewall reports is WE trying to
connect.
But you may have malware on your system. Run Adaware and
or SpybotS&D. There are several malwares that load on your
system called "download.exe". Cleaning your IE temp
files,completly, wiil help. My Sygate firewall has an
application list that shows what is on the system that may
or has contacted the internet. Don't know if ZoneAlarm has
the same.
Post back on what you find.

ZoneAlarm tells me that windows explorer wants to have
access to the internet after starting up windows. I don't
have anything in the startup files that would account for
this. Critical update is not enabled, nothing in auto
exec
bat or config sys. Both Norton and McAffee virus programs
don't see anything. No new programs have been installed
lately and I don't remember this happening except for the
last week or so. Does anyone know why it wants to access
the internet???
