Customizing program control settings

By default, Zone Labs security software always asks you whether to block or to allow connection attempts and server access attempts for the Internet and Trusted Zones. In addition, If the TrueVector Service is running, but Zone Labs security software is not, program access is denied by default.

You can customize program control by specifying whether access is always allowed, always denied, or if you want to be asked, each time a program in either the Internet or Trusted Zone requests access.

To set global program properties:

Select Program Control|Main.


Click Advanced, then select the Alerts & Functionality tab.


Specify global program options.
Show alert when Internet access is denied	Displays a Blocked Program alert when Zone Labs security software denies access to a program. To have access denied silently, clear this option.
Deny access if permission is set to "ask" and the TrueVector service is running but Zone Labs security software is not.	In rare cases, an independent process such as a Trojan horse could shut down the Zone Labs security software user interface, but leave the TrueVector service running. This setting prevents the application from hanging if this occurs.
Require password to allow a program temporary Internet access	Prompts you to enter a password to grant access permission. Requires that you be logged in to respond Yes to a Program alert. To allow access without a password, clear this option.



Click OK.
