I have programme called "Zone alarm" (I think it's a firewall?) It Keeps telling me that this or that programme is requesting access to my computer. The problem is, I have no idea what to allow and hat to refuse.
Just accept them on a case by case basis. It shouldn't be randomly occurring. It's usually you start doing something like open up a poker application and it needs to access the internet to work, so it has to get permission from ZA. Best thing to do is write down the names of the programs and google them. If it's a virus or somesuch, it'll pull it up.
