Re: A Techy Question.

Here you go mate just for you I did a bit of googling and found this info from here Security Product FAQ: ZoneAlarm - CastleCopsWiki

Q: ZoneAlarm is one of the last to start up. Won't my computer be unsafe until it loads?

A:By default, ZA starts running as a service when the computer starts. Once you log in, you will see the User Interface (zlclient.exe) start up, but the firewall (vsomon.exe) is already in place.
I hope you will sleep better now. As Ian pointed out your initial defence is really your router. Zone Alarm is really a secondary defense for you.

Have you done a Shields Up test at Home of Gibson Research Corporation to check how visible you are on the internet? It is worth checking.
