|  Why Zone Labs software contacts Zone Labs
This information I'm just passing on from the company. It seems this question is popping up again. So they put out a release explaining things.
Q: Why does Zone Labs software contact Zone Labs?
A: The ZoneAlarm family of products offers a number of features and services that enhance your security by providing specific information about threats, configurations, and programs. To enable these services, ZoneAlarm security products communicate periodically with Zone Labs servers. Of course, this communication is done on an "opt in" basis; it is your choice to decide to take advance of these features and services.

Each one of these features and services is voluntary; you can easily choose not to use any or all of them.
Following is a list of the servers that your client might contact, and the functionality they provide.

| Okay then let me ask a question along the same line..I have ZoneAlarm Pro recently purchased and installed and I have set the configuration to automatically check for updates.
However, in my firewall logs, the only firewall entries are Medium rated blocked attempts outbound to hs2.zonelabs.com.
Makes me stop and go  Can anyone explain that observation?
