| 19350 | 2001-09-24 12:01:00 | According to zone alarm I have apparently sent 210MB of stuff today. What could this be about, because I'm pretty sure I should not have. |

| 19353 | 2001-09-24 22:14:00 | I have just a normal dial up connection. According to zone alarm i'd recieved~15MB, but sent~210MB?? Is it possible to send that much on normal dial up connection. I downloaded latest virus defs for norton and did full system scan to check nothing untoward was happening. Could it be that zone alarm is wrong. I'm using windows 98.no lan. |

| 19354 | 2001-09-27 04:11:00 | I noticed the same thing with my version, which I thought was the latest (2.6) I checked the amount of data I had REALLY sent out via the modem icon in the system tray and discovered the MB stated in ZoneAlarm should actually read as KB ... there seems to have been a typo during the making of the program and it appears as MB instead of KB. Not much help, but that explains it ... |
