After 3 weeks of Norton AV, Zone Alarm Suite, Spybot, Adaware, Cwshredder, Hijack this, MemoryWatcher Uninstaller, etc, I'm back in good shape. At some point, though, I told ZA to not allow svchost.exe access to the internet. Windows 2000 Pro. I understand this is part of OS and is not problematic letting it have access. But I can't figure out how to tell ZA to go ahead and let it go. It's not listed in the firewall programs where I can block, ask, or allow, nor does it show in the components list. I tried to "add" but that did not seem to do anything. Thankfully only a minor annoyance at startup but still an annoyance. Hopefully this is a good place to ask this question. If not, apologies, and any guidance is appreciated. Thanks Doug
