I have had Zone Alarm on many occasions and I loved it... it did keep hackers out and never stopped me visiting any websites... I think it would be more to do with your settings.

I haven't got it at the moment so I can't check but read the tutorial and have a good look round all the 'options' to check you haven't got anything set too low or things disallowed that you want to be allowed... I know that's not good English.... I've had a bad day and my brain is fried :roll:
