[pchelpers] Firewall access

    I have reinstalled Sygate Firewall and it apparently is working
normally. I have set it up to notify me if any site, other than the
approved, tries to get access. Occasionally I will be notified of a blocked
access.  Is it possible that the following hits  could  be sites that are
involved with PIOLET File Sharing?  When I subscribed to Piolet and
installed the program it set up a Piolet shared folder.  Port 80 was allowed
in Sygate for Piolet access.

When I looked at the security log today I found the following.
    4 of these

    then 2 more of these.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
