How can I change that? It's think it's strange, and I wonder if my firewall is working at all. How can I check that? <_<

I also use Sygate and I don't think ad-blocking is possible with it. But your firewall is working, I don't see any problems what so ever with Sygate.
If you want ad-blocking read here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=73534)

Yes I know I had Norton personal firewall before sygate & it worked, but I've been told sygate was better so I switched.
BTW do you know if a banner blocker (not a popup blocker, cos I don't have problems with that) uses lots of resources in your computer?

Sorry, I don't. I don't use one.

Zone Alarm Pro 4 with Web Filtering

Download it from the main website and look for a key. ZA Pro 3 keys work for it also.

That's if you want to switch Firewalls.

1. No, Sygate doesn't block banners.
2. To see if your firewall is working, go to PC Flank (http://www.pcflank.com/) and take the Stealth Test, and while your at it, try the other tests too, to make sure your safe. :)
