     I just installed ZA5 on my 98SE laptop. I've noticed more activity than

     usual (looking at the little tray icon) when i first connect after boot.

     I'm thinking that it may be calling home? Should i be concerned?

     Any tips?

     Thanks!

         If you do not have a 'hosts' (no .ext) file in your C:¥Windows

         directory... open notepad and enter the stuff below. Then save

         the file there - after saving... if it has an .txt extension... chop

         if off. If you do have the 'hosts' file... just add what you do not

         have in there already and save. I'm fairly sure this will take care

         of things - if not, let me know.

         Cut above & below the lines.

         127.0.0.1 cm2.zonelabs.com

         127.0.0.1 pa2.zonelabs.com

         -------------------------------------------------------

         Also, if you do a google on 'hosts' files... you can find some info

         and pre-made hosts files which you can then add the contents of-

         to your file. Most of the entries will be to prevent your browser

         from accessing the ad sites etc.

         Err... Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

         Choose heaven for climate, hell for society.

         Hehehe....

         Don't spit into the wind.

         Never stand between a dog and the hydrant.

         Never ask a guy holding a shovel to give you an impression.

         Yep! Everyone's a comedian. LOL

         I've heard it asks you to un-install (most other) AV products

         before it will install itself. Just curious, how did you deal with

         that?

              Paint it pink. That should really supprise her. LMAO

              Hey Ana, I have another shed project on a way here.

              Wanna suprise me too? :)

              > I gotta go soak my fingers - damn hammers! LOL

              Yeah I know. Gurlies hate what a hammer souds like, so they
              often try to

              dampen it with fingers, right... Hey, you don't need to show me
              that

              finger. I believe it's sore. LOL

              If you come over I might even let you use my nailgun. That
              should save your

              fingers for something else. [EG]

              Now you stop waving that finger to my direction...LOL

              T~
