Zone Alarm

I cannot access the users guide for Zone Alarm from their
website. every time I try, all I get is a blank page. Then
my computer freezes and I have to reboot. I have the
program saved to My Documents but don't want to use it
untill I am familiar with it. I don't get a not responding
message with control alt.del. I have Adobe 6.0 with
updates. I ran cws,Spybot, and Adware. Didn't find any
thing. Tried to get to
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/parasite.htm could not get
through. ????

I just accessed it with IE 6 and Netscape 7.2. I suspect you have other
problems with your Windows installation. But, not to worry. The good way to
become familiar with ZoneAlarm is to install it and access the help files
that way. Just do it. This isn't shareware written by some hack teenager in
his basement - no need to worry about blowing anything up.

.Thanks,I'll run it as is. I can access almost anything
else,I only have trouble getting to sites that fight
adware and such. They seem to freeze upon access or hang
during download. cws says I have some sort of coolweb
worm that causes this but it hasn't found it yet. I keep
getting a message that IE has to close and then I'm
automatically redirected to microsoft support site.
Thanks Bob, hc@gc

Look in your hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\HOSTS)
There should be only one uncommented line in it and that is
127.0.0.1 localhost
If there's anything else, either delete it or put a comment in front of
it. There are viruses and spyware programs that will alter your HOSTS
file to prevent you from accessing certain sites.
