When I use Gozilla, for instance, it will often ask if I will allow it to act as a Server. Does it have any effect if I say No? Why does this, and other programmes, wish to? Thanks and Regards,	Guest (0)

Maybe not much, but some. It might stop you doing some things, but that would be configurable, once you find out what they are.	Guest (0)

The only one I recall off the top of my head, but I know I have others, is Gozilla which asks if IPC Server may access the Internet. I say no to that and still can download but others I don't know what the effect is. Or why any of them want to.	Guest (0)
