Zone alarm reports the new version (7.0.1) of Firefox as malicious and recommends that I do not run it
When I download version 7.0.1, my firewall software reports it as "Malicious" and recommends that I do not install it. What gives?

- Make sure you are downloading firefox from www.mozilla.org (there is a fake site floating around)
- If Zone Alarm still complains, it's most likely protecting you from a "new" file. Security systems often do this to protect you from "Zero Day Vulnerabilites", or programs that have not yet been analyzed by the security company.

Just downloaded it from www.mozilla.com. Zone Alarm now says it's OK to run. Thanks!
