SPYWARE

[Keiko]

The following sites are making extensive use of SPYWARE:
www.chessanytime.com
www.instantchess.com

In addition to that the 1st site may persistently activate low-level BIOS
programs that may cause memory dump of your PC (that causes hardware wear
and naturally disconnection from the Internet)

Please be aware!!!

Random example:

Zone Pro has protected your computer by blocking communication from a
web server

ZoneAlarm Pro has successfully stopped Internet traffic from reaching
your computer. No breach in your security has occurred. Your computer is
safe.
What happened?




The data packet that ZoneAlarm Pro blocked was sent from
port 80 on a web server whose IP address is 210.126.192.239.




Thanks and have a nice weekend,

Keiko

No offence Keiko, but I don't believe you know what you are talking
about. Zone Alarm is probably just detecting the fact that these
services are communicating over port 80, but not sending web pages.
And 'activate low-level BIOS programs' is nonsense. Please dont be so
alarmist!
