Sorry must have missed that part in the original post. My bad.

As far as I know these privacy settings are in regards to internet connections that you use from web browsers like IE etc. Somehow zone alarm is determining if web browsers are allowed to store cookies, etc is my guess.

This isn't really an oracle problem to me it's a problem you are experiencing using web browsers.

You might want to instead configure zone alarm with the spy software removal on and for it to delete all the history on a frequent basis. This might allow you to proceed by changing the privacy setting and your oracle stuff to work but still protect you.

Doubtful that the oracle listener is setting cookie values.

Looks like a problem you are having that's not directly related to oracle. Being frustrated is understandable but I don't think you are separating correctly out "which pieces" of software are causing you aggravation.
