Firewall Alerts

[Bob_Bainbridge]

SInce subscribing to this baord my Zone Alarm firewall keeps popping up alerts that www.tractorbynet.com attempted to access the internet. This happens even when my browser is closed. I have a DSL connection so I am always connected. Anyone know why this would be happening? I ran Spybot and am now running Adaware to see if anything shows up.

Just a quick sidenote, the Cub forum is an odd place for a question like this. lol /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I use Zone Alarm as well. I really like it. It has never said TractorByNet is trying to connect to the net. I'm not even sure why or how TBN could do that? Something sure sounds hinky to me. I have SpyBot and Ad-aware and you are doing the right thing running both. Be sure they are updated! They have updaters in each program. If you have an Anti-Virus program, make sure it is updated and run that as well. Good luck! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I posted it here because the popup started when I subscribed to this forum. I ran SpyBot, Adaware and Norton AV with no luck. It still keeps giving me the warnings. Oh Well! I'll just mark it to not post that warning any longer.
