I am running Zonealarm Firewall & Anti-virus.
Also, lately running Windows Defender and Webroot Spysweeper for spyware etc.
1)Last 2 Weeks Zonealarm alert says WINDOWS Explorer is trying to access the internet- WHY? I always deny.
2) Last 2 days zonealarm says Internet Explorer is trying to monitor my keylogging and system. Bad? I denied.
3)Several weeks ago and 3 times since ZA program firewall shows 2 new entries from out of the blue. ION and "a small square", both of which have no path or file anymore. They seem to load sometime at startup and then go away. Worse, when I RED X'd them to disable them in the future, When ZA goes to the
net and "auto-sets" my program settings, it resets them to fully Trusted and gives them full internet rights!! AS I said before, these files seem to come in somehow but there is no trace of them later.
Also, ZA has never found a virus.
Please help me solve these mysteries.
Also if you can, tell me if there is any harmfull interactions by runnings these 3 Programs at the same time and/or I should make some setting adjustments.

Thanks, [removed]
