Setting general contact preferences

Setting general contact preferences ensures that your privacy is protected when Zone Labs security software communicates with Zone Labs (for example, to check automatically for updates).

To set contact preferences:

Select Overview|Preferences.


In the Contact with Zone Labs area, specify your preferences.
Alert me with a pop-up before I make contact	Displays a warning before contacting Zone Labs to deliver registration information, get product updates, research an alert, or access DNS to look up IP addresses. Note: There are certain situations in which you will not be notified before contact is made. Those include sending Zone Labs Secure Community data to Zone Labs, contacting Zone Lab for program advice, when an antivirus update is performed, or when monitoring your antivirus status. The "Share setting anonymously..." setting below, turns off the Secure Community transfer. All other settings can be disabled from the main tab of their respective panels.
Hide my IP address when applicable	Prevents your computer from being identified when you contact Zone Labs, Inc.
Hide the last octet of my IP address when applicable	Omits the last section of your IP address (for example, 123.456.789.XXX) when you contact Zone Labs, Inc.
Share my security settings anonymously with Zone Labs	Periodically sends anonymous configuration data to Zone Labs. For more information, see Sharing your settings with Zone Labs . Note: This option does not appear in trial versions of Zone Labs security software.
