Can't comment on the true vector thing, but I do know that zonealarm will
ask you if you want to allow an app to access the net. You can allow on a
case by case basis or allow always. Say you allow always - the app will
never cause Zonealarm to notify you again. Now say you modify the app (maybe
it is one you have written yourself.) The new app with the same name tries
to access the net & Zonealarm will ask if it is allowed to access the net as
if it was the first time.

Now my zonealarm truevector monitor has started shutting down intermittently
over the last week. I'm wonder if I've got a problem myself, but have found
nothing so far. I'm running McAfee virusscan with the latest dat files & am
connected to the net behind an SMC firewalled router, but you never
know......
