No, and this is for sure. No one play games when it happen.
And this 100% happen every day at least twice since computer is almost
whole time is online. Even not doing anything or just with
netscape active I have ZA color corruption.
Of course it looks that ZA still works and reacts on traffic
but if one thing is wrong, there could be others too.
I do not remember how many times I complained on different
bugs to Zonelabs since ZA first appeared and all the time
I was not wrong...
