Source, check your settings; maybe you allready have allowed Explorer to take trips around the Net? (But why should anyone let it?) <hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
People 2003 unlike 2002 has that NEW feature that [dont know about otehr firewalls]

Where you can scan for apps that use the net or not and let the default ones access the net


NOW

If you havent changed your setttings go to 1.Personal Firewall click on configure then Program Control and See if you have Windows Explorer.exe or Microsoft Windows Explorer [it maybe an exe file] on the list cause most things on the list are allowed or configured to be allowed

NOW

if its not on there then Ban it from getting net access [Note i am talking about WInddws eXplorer not Internet explorer

Then

go back and retake that test and see what results you get...........................*

Anyway, I disabled in/out TCP in port 80 in ZA and I am now protected.

Wow. Thanks heaps for the PM about your reply here and Digitalsteel thanks again for this great tip. As you said, I did:
Configure > Program Control > Windows Explorer > Block All

And my computer is well proctected as well.&nbsp;

The first time I run the PCaudit, the program list all my documents&nbsp; &nbsp;

Now with your recommandations and turning my ZA security higher, my PC is safe&nbsp;

Thanks
