Hi

Anyone any thoughts on this?

I am running Zone Alarm (free edition) and MS Office 2000. I always set
Zone Alarm to let me know if Office applications are trying to access
the internet (permission "ask"). Recently I have noticed that something
(either Office or Zone Alarm) is changing the default to allow Word,
Excel and Powerpoint unrestricted internet access. If I change the
permission settings back to "ask", these get rapidly set back to
"allow".

A.) Should I be worried?
B.) What's going on?
C.) Anyone else seen this?

Your considerations appreciated.

I'm running Office2K and ZA Pro on an XP Pro machine, and the only
Office program which is showing ANY Internet access activated is
Outlook. ZAP has all the other programs blocked.
