Zonealarm starts blocking download of attachments, youtube, etc.

Hello All:
Zonealarm 7.0 started blocking the download of pdf's, pps's, mp3's
from yahoomail and gmail.
It won't let me watch YouTube videos, either.
I played around with the settings under "Program Comtrl/Main",
relaxed the firewall settings. Nothing changes.
I have to shut the Zonealarm completely to be able to download, etc.
Any ideas as to what else to tweak?

You could opt for uninstalling this Phoney-Baloney ware

and consider 'hardening' your OS
