Howdy! Adam,
Today I upgraded Spybot to version 2.4.
While I was installing it my Firewall asked me to O.K. a request
from the program to 226.178.217.5 , I used ipdb.at to find out what it
was but didn't see any results but O.K.'d it anyway.
During the Install I clicked the Yes button on my Firewall about
50 times until the installation was over.
I restarted the XP box and now every five minutes my Firewall asks
me the same thing.
I have been clicking YES but I also went to Safer Networking web page
and Searched for 226.178.217.5 in the FAQ and in their Forum but there
wasn't any Results so I left Safer Networking a Comment about it.
And Boy! did I find out how much I HATE CAPTCHAs, I was 15 minutes
entering and entering and entering... until I finally figured out one
of them and they received my Comment.
Comuters Are Fun! Not Today! I'd rather read BBS messages or Email
or do something else with my computer instead of trying to figure out
a CAPTCHA .
Sorry about the Rant in the first message I wrote to You.
You've been there too, I suppose?
