ZoneAlarm Alert difficult to understand and respond to.

[Guest]

I repeatedly get the alert "PeoplePC.exe is trying to launch
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe, or use another program to gain access to
privileged resources." The generic feedback/remedy from ZoneAlarm is as
usual of no use to many people, including me, and I know of no way to
determine the appropriate response: allow now or always, or deny now or
always. Any savvy users reading this that are willing to advise someone like
me who knows little about this stuff? It's making ZoneAlarm's recent top
rating applicable to computer professionals only.

Thanks.

Personally, after they released an x64 beta with no updates after 4-5
months, I came to the conclusion they were'nt going to do any for x64 OS's -
so, I did what any normal warm blooded computer geek would do - went to one
of their competitors that offer an x64 solution - too bad so sad - you
snooze or you're lazy, you loose - I guess greed was their motive, now they
have to rework for x64 OS's and they need to pay a real development team big
bucks to know what they are doing, they're copping out - most likely
squandered the profits from the x86 version away on bonuses and stuff for
the big execs who can't tell the difference being a desktop or server OS
unless you show them.
