I am getting messages that a firewall is blocking certain actions, downloads, etc. I suppose it's ZoneAlarm. Once i shutdown ZoneAlarm, but i still got a firewall message trying to download a program. Microsoft tries to update me occasionally, and is always thwarted by ZoneAlarm.

So my question to anyone is: Why have i never gotten firewall messages before, and is there another firewall besides ZoneAlarm that could be in operation? (That would explain that i'm still behind a firewall after i've shut down ZoneAlarm?)

Edit: and when I click on 'more info' after getting the firewall message about the MS update, I got one of those 'page not available' messages. I hate those.
