Thanks, I finally got a reply from the email I sent to "Arora" - it was the uncle of a guy I used to work with and who used me to send messages to his nephew. He hadn't realised that he had been "hit" and I sent him a copy of a file someone passed to me to kill the PrettyPark worm. (anyone wants a copy, email me - but if you need it please don't put me in your address book - I'm getting that one sent to me once every two days - I must have "unclean" friends!)

Flight Sims, very expensive toys - but real fun to play with!

GG.
Set security levels to 'high; suggest you DON'T allow automatic access to any program unless it won't work without it (so you know that none of your programs can access the internet "behind your back"); switch off notification and get on with enjoying the internet.
If you want a good FAQ, (I'm tempted) click here. It has a good section on ZoneAlarm and the writer makes it easy reading.

News from the firewall newsgroup:
<Snip>
If one uses port 67 as the source port of a TCP or UDP scan, ZoneAlarm will let the packet through and will not notify the user. This means,that one can TCP or UDP port scan a ZoneAlarm protected computer as if there were no firewall there IF one uses port 67 as the source port on the packets.
<Snip>
Apparently the latest beta closes this loophole. The url is in one of my posts above. Suggest you download it!

World Time will update the time automatically when you log on if you check the :"I am using a modem" box under "Network Preferences"- you don't need to marry it with Atomic time.

Slasher,
I've written up my method for fixing a broken Windows Update. In the delay between when I first posted and now, I've found out a bit more but not enough to make a nice tidy short checklist. It runs to 9 pages! (including explanations)
I don't think I should post it here fro two reasons
1 It is too long
2 It is a cut and paste of three articles from Microsoft's knowledge base, and all their stuff is copyrighted. Would be the wrong thing to do for me and the Captain to have it appear here.
I'll email it to you and if anyone else is interested I'll email it to them too - just express interest here.
If anyone's interested, the MS Knowledge Base articles are Q193657, Q243787 and Q195155. There's other stuff there on the same subject. www.microsoft.com , and follow the links through Support. Search on windows update and also java.
