I don't think it's Zone Alarm doing that. I don't see why it would do that - it allows or disallows things entering or leaving your computer, per your instructions. It doesn't time how long you're on a site, I don't believe. I have had it quite awhile now and have had no problems whatsoever. Carol Hanson Many of you are apparently very happy with Zone Alarm. Every time I try it, there are some problems. In particular, I get timeout on a number of secure web pages and need to refresh to get them to show up. This happens almost every other page and is very annoying. Is some setting I have wrong, or is this the price to pay for security? I do like the product features otherwise. During installation, I used the default values as recommended by Zone Alarm. Do you want to signoff PCSOFT or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://freepctech.com/pcsoft.shtml
