Thanks James. As far as I know, Zone Alarm doesn't offer parental control but it does offer the options to block session cookies, 1st party cookies, 3rd party cookies, Banner ads, popup ads, animations, scripts (javascript, vbscripts etc), embedded objects (ActiveX etc) and MIME objects. I've disabled all these blocks but it's still no different. However, if I simply shut Zone Alarm down I can immediately access the sites - so ZA must be the culprit.
The thing that puzzles me is why it sometimes allows me to access the sites but not at other times. I guess I could just uninstall it and re-install.
