Couple of questions on Zone Alarm

After having problems with Nortons Internet Security, I moved to Zone Alarm. I purchased the Security Suite Edition. I have a couple of questions regarding it though.

1. I use a hotmail mailbox for spam mail. With NIS it used to tell me that this one email wanted one of my passwords, and I would block it, and it would never let me delete the email. On delte, it would keep telling me it wants the password, and I would block it. With zonealarm, I put the same passwords in, and attempted to delete the email - it deleted . . . I'm just wondering did zonealarm GIVE out my password, even though I have it in my vault? It said it protected my data 1 time, but it never alerted me or anything.

2. I host servers for online games on my computer. Such as CS, LOMAC, and Ventrillo. Lately, there seems to be a little more lag than usual on the servers, ever since I put ZA in. Is it just my imaginiation, or is ZA slowing it up a little? If so, is there anything I can do to fix this?

3. I use Trillian. I start it up, and usually, as soon as it loads, my contacts come up. Now, as soon as it loads it takes around 10 seconds until the contacts show. At first I had IM Security on, then I turned it off, and I set all of the privilages to trillian on "Allow". But it still is slow. I even took off the authentication, but it still hangs.

Any help is appreciated.

One item to help with# 1 LOL,,,Ok here goes, somewhere in Norton you entered your password as a protected item,,auto notified you of block ,when zone alarm did not request a password notice,,,mighnt be because you did not elect to turn on password notification , so ZA just logged password ,,protected one time is logged as you say... so should have kept your info from being transmitted,,,there should be a area to advise password into alert in Zone Alarm . Hope this helps ,Good Luck Glenn
