About Zone Labs security software alerts
Zone Labs security software alerts fall into three basic categories: informational, program, and network. ZoneAlarm Pro and ZoneAlarm Security Suite users who have enabled the ID Lock feature, also may see ID Lock alerts.

Informational alerts
Informational alerts tell you that Zone Labs security software has blocked a communication that did not fit your security settings. The most common type of informational alert is the Firewall alert.
Informational alerts don't require a decision from you. You can close the alert by clicking the OK button at the bottom of the alert. By doing this you are not allowing any traffic to access your computer.
Program alerts
Program alerts ask you if you want to allow a program to access the Internet or local network, or to act as a server. Program alerts require an Allow or Deny response. The most common types of Program alerts are the New Program alert and Repeat Program alert.
By clicking the Allow button, you grant permission to the program. By clicking the Deny button, you deny permission to the program.
New Network alerts
New Network alerts occur when you connect to any network-be it a wireless home network, a business LAN, or your ISP's network.
ID Lock alerts
If they have enabled the ID Lock feature, users of ZoneAlarm Pro and ZoneAlarm Security Suite may see ID Lock alerts if the personal information stored in myVAULT is sent to a destination that is not listed on their Trusted Sites list.
By clicking the Yes button, you grant permission to send the information to the requesting IP address. If you do not want to be alerted the next time myVAULT data is sent to this destination, select the "Do you want to remember..." check box to add the destination to your Trusted Sites list.
