I'm thinking of activating the ICF firewall that comes with XP to stop those stupid pop up boxes that spammers are sending by explointing messenger service. I know ICF should not have any problem with actions I initiate, but does Poser 5 initiate a connection to the internet on its own and will I start having problems if I set up ICF? If anyone knows or if there is a CL person hanging out here I would like to hear back on this one :)
