look at this, Ive been getting pop ups from zone alarm for 1-2 months
like this and i have no idea what it is - every time the number
changes randomly, and there is no info about what prog is doing it.

A quck screenshot: http://www.zarron.com/za.jpg

Is it a trojan?

it always asks for an internet connection and when i deny it, it then
asks for server rights!!!! also to note is that if i right click on
the prog in zone alarm and select "properties" i get a pop-up error
saying " Object: 8000d0de The parameter is incorrect"

its trying to send or recieve info on port 7526 i have re-installed my
OS three times since it started happening (from a ghost image - so yes
i guess its installed in that somewhere)

I was going to re-install tonight but I'm too curious about it, i want
to know what the bloody thing is!!!!
