   Howdy! 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?
