Same thing happens to me (with the WAREZ).  I use Guard Dog instead of
Zone Alarm, and I get the same warning.  Of course, I answer "no" to the
question of whether I want to allow it to connect.  Who knows what the
reason is for trying to connect......

I don't have WinME, so that isn't the problem.  The only reason I noticed
is because my games computer connects to the internet through my other
server, and the routing software I use lets me know when connections are
initiated - and one is whenever GP3 starts up..

I am using 2.0.26, and I can not find anything that says anything
about a log. I even told it to look for an upgrade it found nothing. .
