simple question requiring Zone Alarm

[Solodays]

In zonealarm, firewall. what exactly is the difference between Internet Zone Security and Trusted Zone Security? I'm guessing Internet Zone security's the primary firewall protection for the internet and trusted zone security is more like secondary firewall that you can modify it's primary firewall by lowering the tap to med. with the desire setting in Interent zone HIGH and trusted zone MED you're still being highly protected and can also share computers.

truted zone are the sites you trust and will ALWAYS be allowed by zone alarm without any warning popup boxes.

if you turn off the internet zone tab, the trusted zone tab will also be turned off.

straight from the zone alarm pro help file:

Understanding Zones
Zone Labs security software keeps track of the good, the bad, and the unknown out on the Internet by using virtual containers, called Zones, to classify the computers and networks that connect to your computer.

The Internet Zone is the "unknown." All the computers and networks in the world belong to this Zone-until you move them to one of the other Zones.

The Trusted Zone is the "good." It contains all the computers and networks you trust and want to share resources with-for example, the other machines on your local or home network.

The Blocked Zone is the "bad." It contains computers and networks you distrust.

When another computer wants to communicate with your computer, Zone Labs security software looks at the Zone it is in to help decide what to do.
