cris... some of these new spyware programmes are getting tricky...
automatically adding themselves into what ever firewall you may be using. I
haven't used ZA in years, but I would certainly remove it's permission...
recent viruses disable the ability to update signature files or auto-protect
level to load... so nothing would surprise me!
