Hi,

I am receiving the following entries for web access from two client machines
I have here, and would like to know how I can disable these machines from
doing this, as the logs fill up very quickly, and this occurs when the
machines are sitting idling..  From my understanding Microsoft Instant
Messenger is the culprit, however, another client with the same version of
instant messenger does not appear to display the same issues.

GFIWebMonitor?

Sjones - Advertisement Deny Rule



I have added rad.msn.com to a deny rule for web access, should this still
appear in the log file if it is denied access?  And could I just as easily
add a deny rule for http://svcs.mcirosoft.com/svcs/mms/adxml_main.asp ???

Any ideas on this would be appreciated, if it is just a case of this is how
things are and I should ignore them, then so be it.

Cheers

Ant Dowling.
