My ZoneAlarm is currently blocking things from loading that i need to use and the problem is im not sure which option to turn down.
At the moment i cant watch youtube video's, download any file, i cant use Flash and there's a few other things i cant do without turning ZoneAlarm of first.
Any idea which option i would need to edit? Or if this is just the standard setting for ZL then is there another firewall that's as good?

Cheers

I recently had a bit of a play to get youtube to work - it worked for me after enabling all cookies in Privacy (session, persistent & third party)

Thankyou- Does this make my PC more susceptible to damaging cookies though?

(As far as I know- I'm not a computer-y person) cookies themselves aren't damaging. All they do is tell the websites you go to (and advertisers) that your computer has been there. You have to choose whether it bothers you enough not to use the site. (There might be more info about any risk associated with it on ZoneAlarm's site. )
