Peppergal Posts: 2207 Joined: 9/20/2002 Status: offline	Windows Explorer acting as a Server? - 10/9/2004 10:52:25 Every time I boot up my machine, Zone Alarm alerts me that Windows Explorer is trying to act as a server. What is this all about? The validation is "Not available in Zone Alarm" and the Application is Explorer.EXE. The Source IP is a port on my machine. Should I deny this permanently, or allow it? _____________________________ Northeast PA / Poconos/ Lake Wallenpaupack Real Estate wallenpaupacklakeproperty.com Karen's Real Estate Blog

Is it some kind of spyware - bundled with some program I installed, maybe? If it is spyware, Ad-aware, Spybot, and Spyware Blaster have missed it. :/ _____________________________ Northeast PA / Poconos/ Lake Wallenpaupack Real Estate wallenpaupacklakeproperty.com Karen's Real Estate Blog (in reply to Giomanach)

Everything from explorer to Office. Even Front Page has asked to run as a server on my machine. _____________________________ In order to remove a wall you must first remove the Windows® (in reply to Peppergal)
