I keep getting a zone alarm alert and I dont know what it is for so have been denying access. What is it for? Thank-you, ladynimrod

what is the exact alert? Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Sorry, I am puter challenged. I have a zone alarm alert that comes up. it says SERVER PROGRAM Internet Explorer wants to accept connection to internet. there are 2 of them and one has 209.172.0.5DNS and the other has 209.172.0.8DNS. I dont know what they are and I deny but have no clue what they are and if i should accept or deny. I had been downloading AT&T CD to change ISP but cancelled. I uninstalled all the Yahoo things from the control panel and rebooted. Right after that this alert started coming up. Every time I go to a web page it comes up. Thanks so much, ladynimrod

I would say that since they keep asking for permission even though you denied them that they are probably safe to allow. First however answer this: Are you not able to run any programs when you don't allow those?

I can go anywhere and run anything but the alerts keep popping up as it loads and I get the weird page that says cant connect sometimes. i hit the back button and start over. thanks so much for answering.

209.172.0.5 209.172.0.8 is Triton Technologies, Inc http://services.triton.net/ Is this the company you pay for internet services. If so, check the remember this setting and allow access.

Well, do I feel dumber or what? My own ISP huh? How do you find out this stuff? I really thank you for your time. I know enough to turn the darn puter on and play some games but when something happens I dont have a clue what to do. This site is AWESOME!!! Thanks so much ladynimrod
