    I am new to this group. I apologize if this subject has been covered
before.

    I have a cable modem connection to internet. I have a Linksys router
between the cable modem and my PC. And I have ZoneAlarmPro running. To my
knowledge no servers are running on the PC, print and file sharing is off,
and no program is allowed by ZoneAlarmPro to tunnel trough internet lock.
I have window98SE running with latest security patches.

    I recently find some TCP connections with status "ESTABLISHED" even when
internet lock is on in ZoneAlarmPro. These connections must have opened
by internet explorer when internet lock was off. But I would have expected
them to die off a few minutes after the internet lock is turned on.

1-Should I worry about this condition?
2-If yes, how do I prohibit it?

Your comments are appreciated.
