Program access control

When a program requests access for the first time, A New Program alert asks you if you want to grant the program access permission. If the program is trying to act as a server a Server Program alert is displayed. A Server Program alert asks you if you want to grant server permission to a program.

To avoid seeing numerous alerts for the same program, select the Remember this answer check box before clicking Yes or No. After that, Zone Labs security software will silently block or allow the program. If the same program requests access again, a Repeat Program alert asks you if you want to grant (or deny) access permission to a program that has requested it before.

Because Trojan horses and other types of malware often need server rights in order to do mischief, you should be particularly careful to give server permission only to programs that you know and trust, and that need server permission to operate properly.
