Yes, you are correct; I should have mentioned the same thing in my message. 
Spyware can make your machine do crazy things.

Hello Lenny:

I was helping someone sort out some problems with there computer a few
weeks ago who had a similar problem.  He did not have any software
loaded to detect spy ware and viruses.

I loaded SpyBot, SpyWare Doctor and AVG anti virus and scanned the
machine several times until I got the messages telling me that the
machine was free of spy ware intrusions and viruses.

As we all know, these programs are not guarantees that you are
completely free of these low-lifes who want to destroy other people's
machines with viruses and who want to high jack our lives by steeling
our personal information.  But, as they say, "something is better than
nothing."

Therefore, it might not have been a problem with Sygate at all, but a
spy ware program or a virus causing the problem.

I use ZoneAlarm as my fire wall protection.

Sincerely:

Dave Durber
