It apparently sets a reg key that turns off your windows update. You're right, it is a clever little bugger! I just took a look at my firewall logs and you wouldn't believe the hundreds (maybe thousands now!) of blocked attempts on port 135 from IP's everywhere. If you've got a firewall log you've got to read it to believe it (I love my ZoneAlarm Pro ).

Have you installed the Patch yet? I am curious if that is why your log is so full.* I am using ZA as well, but my logs are normal.*


Yep... installed KB823980 about two days after it came out. ZAP has everything running in stealth per Shields Up at grc.com too. Just to give you some real numbers I looked at my latest logs... View is set to show last 500 entries, and that only spans about the last two hours now... With about 10 exceptions they're all attempts on 135/137. Most of the source's are IP's with the same first or second octet range as mine (Australia). Looks like lots of peeps down here neglected to update . Maybe that's why it's quieter up there 'North of the 45th Parallel' .

All the best,
