    Thanks for the suggestion!
    Run a search of "packet sniffer" on Google and check out the links. You need to have substantial background in TCP/IP networking to use one properly though. I am not sure if they have anything free for Windows, which is probably what you are using.

    Your best bet is to get a copy of ZoneAlarm. It's free. It blocks outgoing connections.

        Not necessarily, if you configure your browser properly and never ever run any program that you don't know what they do.

        Running programs you are clueless about is the #1 cause of getting your machine wrecked.

          In all honesty, I have had memberships to 3 porn sitesin the last year. So I accepted the fact that I probably was being tracked.

            I always run Adaware after installing any freeware programs. I read on their site that there was one spyware program that, once installed, proceeded to uninstall Adaware. Nasty stuff.

                  well in total, not that bad, considering I dont use a firewall and I m always late on microsoft IE updates.

                  but on the other hand I almost never surf porn and warez, and I never install programs I dont trust.

                  one entry in the list was Radiate, but it comes with FlashGet I am using for download, so I let it live. But some other entries made me wonder where I picked them up.

                  my next stop now is MS site... need to get updated on browser security

                      Speaking of spying on browsers' habits - doesn't Apolyton log your IP address?

                        Yep...that's what that button way over to the far right above your posts is for. Regular posters can't check it, of course, but the mods and admins can use it to block accounts from the same IP and such.

                                You need to give Grokster both access and server rights: right click on the ZA icon in the task bar > Restore Zone Alarm Pro Control Center > Program Control > Programs tab
