Adam,              Today I upgraded Spybot to version 2.4.              While I was installing it my Firewall asked me to O.K. a request       from the program to 226.178.217.5 , I used ipdb.at to find out what it       was but didn't see any results but O.K.'d it anyway.       During the Install I clicked the Yes button on my Firewall about       50 times until the installation was over.              I restarted the XP box and now every five minutes my Firewall asks       me the same thing.       I have been clicking YES but I also went to Safer Networking web page       and Searched for 226.178.217.5 in the FAQ and in their Forum but there       wasn't any Results so I left Safer Networking a Comment about it.              And Boy! did I find out how much I HATE CAPTCHAs, I was 15 minutes       entering and entering and entering... until I finally figured out one       of them and they received my Comment.              Comuters Are Fun! Not Today! I'd rather read BBS messages or Email       or do something else with my computer instead of trying to figure out       a CAPTCHA .              Sorry about the Rant in the first message I wrote to You.       You've been there too, I suppose?              ...
