What will happen when you disable whole activity of all of Zone Alarm & your
anti-virus software & firewall function of MS Win XP?
Read anti-virus software's manual/guide for mail scannning function(local mail
proxy function) first, since your POP3 server access is affected.

I've disabled NAV and Zone Alarm to no avail.  Firewall function in XP is not
running while ZA was running, nor was it running after I disabled Zone Alarm.  I
did uninstall ZA and put XP's firewall back online, and apparently something in
ZA is breaking TB(outlook express worked fine while ZA was running).  I'm
closing this bug and marking it invalid.
