Hello all,

I noticed my pc was playing up for a few moments at certain times and after
a bit of trouble shooting i.e recently installed software, I tracked it down
to Paint Shop Pro XI.

It relates to Protexislicensing, some licensing check.

Searching google I found,
http://ussenterprise.blogdns.net/blog2/archive/2007/02/16/316.aspx

Ignoring the fact about individuals trying to crack it, my question is about
one of the posters mentioning about their 3rd party firewall highlighted the
culprit wanted access to the internet.

Now my question is that I thought Vista checked outgoing connections, should
it too not of advised me about this service trying to access the internet?

I used to have zonealarm on XP and found it very useful / informative.. Was
I wrong ? should I get zone alarm again?

Thanx
 
Since you are now using Vista, you should post in the Vista newsgroup.
