I'm New. Just downloaded Zone Alarm (free). Came up asking if I want Win32.us.exe to connect. What is that? Do I need it? If not, how do I get rid of it? feel free to write back bocabreeze@aol.com

Hi, Rhonda
As a general rule I'd leave Win32 files alone, especially if they have an .exe extension. Since you've just installed your firewall, its more than likely just asking general questions about your PC's connectivity. I experienced much the same thing when I installed a Kerio firewall a while back. Zone Alarm is a fine firewall, also. By the way, 'bocabreeze' sounds like it could be Boca Raton. Tampa, here. Have a great weekend and good luck with your firewall.

This Page says win32us.exe is an adult dialer! You should either kill it in processes,then search win32us.exe and delete it, or type msconfig in start /run and stopping it from running in startup-then rebooting and deleting the file. Make ZoneAlarm block its access to the net!
