Snipped from the mIRC log-on info... -TriStar- Attention: By joining this network you agree to have your system periodically checked for known vulnerabilities. Your firewall may interpret our check as an attack by a trojan or virus. IT IS NOT AN ATTACK. For more details please go to our web page at http://www.starlink-irc.org/security/ - -TriStar- Connections your firewall may see from IP 4.23.70.4 are from Tristar and NOT an attack by a trojan or virus program. - I uninstalled ZA Pro because it had a conflict with the XP internal firewall. I run NAV 2002 and set the Task Scheduler to LiveUpdate every two hours. Keep your virus definitions currant.
