Managing program components

In addition to controlling permissions for all programs on a computer, advanced users may also want to monitor and, if desired, restrict individual components that these programs load (such as DLL files or ActiveX controls). ZoneAlarm security software keeps a list of components (used by allowed programs) that have tried to access the Internet or the local network. Depending on your Application Control and component control settings, ZoneAlarm security software can simply monitor components or it can alert you each time a new component attempts access. This section explains how to access the Components List and how to change component permissions. For details about enabling component control, see Enabling Component Control.

The Components List contains a list of program components for allowed programs that have tried to access the Internet or the local network. The Outbound column indicates whether the component is always allowed access, or whether ZoneAlarm security software should alert you when that component requests access. By default, the Components List is organized in alphabetical order, but you can sort the components in the list by any column by clicking on the Component column header.

To access the Components List:

Select Application Control| View Components.

To grant access permission to a program component:

  1. Select Application Control|View Components.
  2. Select a component from the list, then click in the Outbound column.
  3. Select Allow from the shortcut menu.
