Hello All:

Zonealarm 7.0 started blocking the download of pdf's, pps's, mp3's
from yahoomail and gmail.

It won't let me watch YouTube videos, either.

I played around with the settings under "Program Comtrl/Main",
relaxed the firewall settings. Nothing changes.

I have to shut the Zonealarm completely to be able to download, etc.

Any ideas as to what else to tweak?

You could opt for uninstalling this Phoney-Baloney ware

and consider 'hardening' your OS
