Problems connecting mIRC while using Zone Alarm

[imported_rogerwilco]

I've bought Zone Alarm Security Suite 6 after reading in this forum it was better than Norton.
but now, I think I'm starting to regret it... :-(

the program blocks me from connecting to mIRC ( even though I "allowed" the program to access the net)
I get messages in my server windows in mIRC reading : "Blocked by Zone Labs"

how can I remove this restriction / block / annoyance ?

thanks.

it prevents the use of mIRC by default. you have to go to the settings and enable it.
its under the IM settings i believe

Thanks for the reply,
unfortunately, I don't have the program installed on my computer, I asked the question for a client of mine,
since I'm not familiar with the program, I'd be happy if someone posted the steps to get to that option and to enable it.

thanks.

It's under IM controls and like said is blocked by default.
