Can you explain in more detail what this means? I have nothing in the "Programs" dialog of the Zone Alarm firewall set to "block" (with a couple of exceptions). I have almost everything set to "ask." (And I have only a couple of things set to "allow.") So won't the Zone Alarm firewall ask when some program / dll / xx needs access? That's what has always happened when I'm updating software (which I always do manually, never automatically).
If the new Windows Update needs access to something new, wouldn't a change in the setting of the Zone Alarm firewall allow that access? (So that automatic updates could be enabled, if one wished.) Is there something in the Zone Alarm firewall that always blocks some specific access "channel" no matter what the settings are? I see that MS is up to it's usual tactics: "DOS isn't done 'til Lotus won't run."
