| 139165 | 2003-04-26 19:50:00 | Just installed Windows XP Pro. After several hours of using it, Explorer.exe (Windows Explorer) wants to access the internet through Zone Alarm. Is this meant to happen??? I'm not talking about IExplore.exe (Internet Explorer) which is meant to access the internet. If someone could help me with this problem would really appreciate your advice.. |

| 139166 | 2003-04-26 21:10:00 | XP has a habit of wanting to go find if you need updates, etc, on a regular basis. Not sure if you should stop them or not. I have recently moved over to XP and have a similar problem (although I haven't installed any firewall yet, and really should). robo. |

I have auto updates turned off as well, so I don't know what it wants to report to Bill . (It'd be interesting to know though) Trev |

| 139169 | 2003-04-27 02:11:00 | @ Trev0 According to a recent report published on the net irrespective of whether you have automatic updates set to auto or manual if you use the windows update site a whole bunch of gremlins are, inevitably, sent to Microsoft. What on earth could they be doing with all that data? Want to know more? Go here (www.theregister.co.uk). |
