Can anyone advise wether or not this file is required? Its in the registry
and I am not sure if I can delete it. Zone Alarm keeps blocking its attempt
to establish an outgoing connection.

Thanks for your time

I suppose I should IDENTIFY the file, that would help

WkUFind.exe

Found in:
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\works shared\wkufind.exe

Zone Alarm references it like this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run(WkUFind.exe)

It starts automatically during boot. So I cant delete unless I delete out
of the registry using RegEdit

It's a legitimate part of Microsoft Works/Picture-It. It's searching for
updates for itself. If it bugs you, you can remove it from the run list in
the registry... otherwise tell ZoneAlarm to ignore it.
 
Sorry for the bud in,but I get the same thing,only from Norton,
and I can't configure Norton not to show it .
So what now ?
