Hver gang min computer (win XP) starter, spørger Zonealarm: 'Do you want to
allow Generic Host Process for Win32 Services to act as a server?'. Når jeg
svarer 'no' kan jeg ikke komme på internettet. Hvis jeg svarer 'ja' så er
maskinen på nettet omkring et minuts, uden at vise noget som helst
'internetaktivt' program . . . . ?

Hvad er Generic Host for noget?

Tak, men de giver mig desværre ikke noget svar. Det der undre mig er at min
maskine tar en hurtig tur på nettet (jeg kan se på min Zyxel, at den går på
nettet) hvis Zonealarm er aktivt, men ikke hvis jeg booter uden Zonealarm .
.. . . ? Hvorfor mon Generic Host skal 'tjecke' nettet når Zonealarm er
aktiveret, og ikke hvis Zonealarm ikke er tændt?

Prøv at læse den her side, den er lidt teknisk tung, men ret omfattende
og god mht. services i Win:

Users that upgraded one of the three ZA products to Version 3.1.395 have
=
noticed that "ZA phones home." This issue seems to be only occurring =
with DUN users. I recently received some words from Zone Labs about this
=
problem.


Q: Why is ZoneAlarm Pro causing my computer to dial out? =20
A: ZoneAlarm Pro is performing a DNS lookup. Normally, ZoneAlarm Pro =
waits
until a user has established an Internet connection before performing =
the
DNS lookup. However, an issue with the most recent ZoneAlarm Pro/Plus =
and
ZoneAlarm releases is that they don't wait for an Internet connection =
before
performing the DNS lookup. On some computers with auto-dialers set up,
=
this
look-up may cause the auto-dialer to be invoked. We're aiming to =
correct
this in the next release of the products.=20

Q: Why is ZoneAlarm Pro performing a DNS lookup? =20
A: ZoneAlarm products perform automatic DNS lookups on any service =
addresses
that a user requests for that session (registration, check-for-update),
=
as
well as for any Zone Labs Web destinations a user may go to. In =
addition to
this, when a user adds a new Web site to a Zone, ZoneAlarm Pro does a =
DNS
lookup for that site. But if the DNS name cannot be resolved before the
session is over, ZoneAlarm Pro tries again the next session until the
information can be established.

Q: What is lockout.zonelabs.com? =20
A: Your dialer may indicate a destination address of =
lockout.zonelabs.com.
This is a landing page with instructions for people who have =
experienced
firewall hardening. Firewall hardening is a failsafe security measure =
built
in to our products. If a hacker or malware attempts to directly assault
ZoneAlarm, Plus, or Pro, the software prevents Internet access for any
applications not already running. When this happens, the user's browser
automatically displays lockout.zonelabs.com. Firewall hardening is =
rarely
triggered, but when it is, it's important for you to know what has =
happened.
