Zone Alarm / Norton Problem

I'll see if I can find anything about it and post if I can find a good fix. It is curious that this now occurs after installing zone alarm though, wheeras it did not before. Perhaps try turnign off the "Mailsafe" option. Maybe it is loading the messages first through the software firewall ( and norton is triggered when a virus is read into memory ?). Turn off mailsafe by right clicking on the zonealarm icon at the bottom right corner of the screen, then choose "Restore Zonealarm control center" and click on the taab that says something like "Email protection" and set this to off. Did this stop the problem from occuring as much. Not too big of a deal turning this off since Norton probably does a better job at this anyway.

Sbout the port scans, I am not too familiar with norton, but zonealarm has an alert function also in control center "Alerts and Logs" that you can set to off if you get these alerts from zonealarm (which are REALLY annoying).
