hi dc

i have za set to the highest security settings, and from time to time it lights up like a christmas tree. certain websites really set it off. i've heard many people complain that za is too sensitive. but i'm okay with this level of protection. in fact, i run a couple other firewalls along with it, and have them set to max max also. <g3>

i can not attest to the behaviors of the clickthebutton site, as i did not install it.

btw, what you are seeing are intrusion attempts, or as i've heard it said, someone trying the doorknob. i know you know that, but i just wanted to draw that distinction. <g>

:)
