While browsing the internet last night, for about a minute, all I could load was this webpage no matter what address I went to. I also don't see anything on the router admin page about zonealarm, and have never had it installed on my PC. Is this some form of advertising or what?

You've never installed Zonealarm? Don't know what that might be about. I run Zonealarm freeware and like it. Cloaks my machines from hackers and is a strategy against spyware, etc.

That page is only supposed to pop up if you have your router set to stop all access if Zone Alarm is turned off. It's a security setting that is ticked on if you have Zone Alarm and an older firmware on your router. Could you of turned it on (the security setting) by mistake?

folder firmaware included with the linksys router has that included, need to install zone alarm on your pc, or install the new firmware from linksys site.

Under the security tab there should be a section about ZoneAlarm Pro enforcement and you can just disable it by unchecking the box. Also I think this only works with ZoneAlarm Pro and not the free version IIRC.
