So I installed zonealarm on a new WIN7 computer because I had a trojan installed in HMHud on a different computer last week and had to rebuild that computer.

I allowed HM programs access to local host and the internet for license validation, but then noticed HMHud.exe trying to access the IP of my router.

I had already been playing on Stars and noticed no issues with my stats or HUD and the program seemed to be working fine.

Is there a reason HMHud needs to access my router?

I have attached a snip of the window.

Info would be helpful in configuring my firewall.

HMhud, Hmimport, holdemmaanager.exe, etc all use the SQL connection. (port 5432)

ZoneAlarm does everything in its power to block that connection.... even if you manually allow it.

Recommended: uninstall ZoneAlarm... just use the Windows Firewall.
