ZoneAlarm... services allowed for internet access

Hi everyone,

I was messing around with ZoneAlarm and I noticed some services were already check for internet access under the Program Control. Some of these are Services.exe, RunDll32.exe, Lsass.exe, and Winlogon.exe.

ZoneAlarm never alerted me or asked for my permission, and now I am really afraid. I had already run an virus scan and various other spyware scan (Ad-Aware, Spybot, Windows Defender, Ewido, A2, etc); but everything came up clean.

I didn't install any cracks or warez, and never visited any questionable sites. Most of the time I am playing online games (counter strike, diablo, etc) and lurking in this forum; so I am not sure how some of these services were allowed.

Does anyone know what the cause of this? Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Not to worry, the four you mention are normal processes.

Hey Crystal Sky and Cudni, thanks for the reply.

So, it's ok for these services to have internet access?
