   Ben,   
      
   I just used WinPatrol.   
   My XP Limited User Account didn't show any tasks scheduled, but   
   when I clicked   
   Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks   
      
   I saw Adobe Flash Player Update and Panda USBVaccine in the list.   
      
   I switched to the XP Admin account and saw the same two Tasks in   
   the list.   
      
   When I used WinPatrol in the Admin account it showed me three   
   others: Avast! Emergency Update,   
   MP Scheduled Scan (Windows Defender),   
   HUB Task 0 (a bunch of hex codes).job   
      
   After viewing the info on Adobe Flash Player Update I decided the   
   next time FortKnox gives me a alert about it I will Check the box   
   to remember my setting and Click on the Yes button.   
   While I was preparing this message it appeared so I Did That.   
      
   That Hub Task Zero thing is for Sonic DVD Plus mediahub.exe file   
   dated in 2005.   
   It isn't scheduled to run, but every time I quit using the Sonic   
   program I always get 3 pop-up windows that I have to click OK on   
   before I can see the Desktop.   
      
   Now I know why I'm seeing those 3 windows about a Error in   
   MediaHub.   
   Maybe I ought to Disable or Remove it from the Scheduled Task   
   list.   
      
   Another thing associated with Sonic is an InstallShield Program   
   Updater that appears whenever I use the Admin account and   
   sometimes I see it in the Limited User account, but it never has   
   given me any updates for Sonic DVD Plus.   
      
   AH!, Computers Are Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
      
   I looked at GRC.com for NetBios information and learned about   
   MS's use of Ports 137-139 and 445.   
   Interesting stuff!   
      
   Also used ShieldsUp! and the results were All Ports Are STEALTH.
