ZoneAlarm is not installed. I searched the registry for
ZoneAlarm, and do not recall finding much other than the Cisco
VPN client. Don't think ZoneAlarm was ever installed. I did not
address this; it still shows up in cygcheck.
I do not know what caused or fixed the problem.

The problem vanished without a reboot, after a number of changes
I made - all the changes were done w/o logging the current (non
admin) user off the console; any steps that required administrator
access [including cygwin 'setup.exe'] were done using 'runas'.
- disabled and uninstalled a number of firefox add ons;
one of these was the AVG link checker ( my hunch is
that this may have fixed it; unless just logging out did )
- disabled "resident shield" AVG virus checker
- installed and configured 'noscript' for latest firefox 3.x
- uninstalled MCI remote access client, and Cisco VPN software
(doubt the MCI client was at fault, but I no longer needed it)
The problem went away and never came back (without rebooting) only
when I logged the current user off the console and logged in as
an admin user. It's been over 10 days and the problem has not
returned.
