Do you know what Distributed Com Services is? Is it part of Zone Alarm? I deleted it from the Programs tab of Zone Alarm then the next time I open Netscape I got an alert that it wanted to act as a server. I had Zone Alarm set to disallow it previously and everything worked fine so I set Zone Alarm to disallow it again. Also, why does Windows Explorer ever have to access the internet? I have it set to disallow but can't figure out why it would ever want/need to access the web. I emailed ZoneAlarm the same questions and will report back what they have to say but I thought the questions might make for some good discussion here.
