Hi

It was a known problem with earlier versions of ZA. To resolve it you need
to delete the rules database and let ZA recreate it. To do that uncheck the
'Load ZA at startup' and reboot your PC then go to the \Internet Logs
directory (it should be under \Windows) and delete *all* the files in ther
(keep any *.txt log files you may need) and restart ZA. It will ask for
authorisations for your programs again but should only happen the first
time. Don't forget to check the 'Load ZA at startup' option again so ZA
starts automatically at boot.

Regards

Bill
