Couldn't find the XP Home forum so posting here.

When a "security advisory" pops up for a new program I'm using on my user account, the same advisories pop up on my son's user account and he has to go through them all or allow or deny, even though its been hours since I ran the program that caused the alarm.

How do you get Zone Alarm to only prompt the one user who's actually using the program that prompted the alarm? Its a pretty silly/dumb thing for Zone Alarm/XP to do that.
 
Hello:
If you open ZA Advisor you can set to always allow the program... If you click on the different programs it will allow you to set them to always allow.

Thanks, rct, but these are cases where I want to be notified by an ZoneAlarm when an untrusted program starts up.......however, I don't want the other user to have to go through the same old advisories I've already allowed or denied under my user account....
