Help needed with setting the right settings in ZoneAlarm Pro

I just installed ZoneAlarm Pro on one other PC that I have at my house. It is running great so far on this PC. When I installed ZoneAlarm Pro, I had the internet in use and when the computer restarted, the Internet was already in use too. The "SmartDefense Advisor" chose settings automatically for several programs and things. But however... some have question marks. I would like to know if anyone is willing to help me before I type all the programs that I have questions on which settings to choose for them.

Thanks so much, I appreciate it.

The question mark is one of the settings. It means ZA will ask/prompt you for action if the program attempts a connection. Some users prefer to leave some applications set this way so they will be prompted every time instead of allowing it all the time.

Options: Permit, Deny, Ask.

Hi CrazyM... ok, I see... I may leave the following with question marks or whichever setting you or the other Wilders members suggest.

First off.... for a multiplayer game, what would you suggest thats online... for example, Counter-Strike.

The following programs I would like to know which settings I should apply if any:

CTF Loader
Image Mastering API
Modem Messaging Applet
NOD32 - on-demand scanner
NOD32 Control Center GUI
Registry Initializer
SMax4PNP MFC Application
Windows Login UI
Windows Security Center Notification App
Windows User Mode Driver Manager
WMI (Microsoft Windows Operating System) it says...
Zone Labs Client

I also would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what "Trust Level" to give each... I would ask this question on the ZoneAlarm forums since its a ZoneAlarm related question but the people there do not even reply to me.

Thanks very much, I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with my question above....

So far I have started off with lower settings and as I get alerts I keep upping the level until they stop. Onviously this is with apps you know and recognise.

 

Hi q1aqza , ok.. I will stick with question marks then the "Ask" option.
