USENET POST WARNING
====================
The User by the name "Tracker" aka Debbie, VPNSISHACKERSSECRET, regulary
posts incorrect, misleading and damaging information, to rely on the advice
of this person could result in irrepairable damage to your system. It is my
personal advice not to listen to anything that this person posts and
certainly to not attempt or believe anything this person advises. the
following text may contain additional information in the form of corrections
and/or warnings to this person post.
====================

A WAN stands for a Wide Area Network, WAN network as those that strecth over
distance, such as a large national company network, or even... the internet.

Trackers statement is misleading in that she doesnt seem to understand what
a WAN is and therefore providing misleading and potentially damaging
information, also the only time Zone Alarm itself would access the WAN (in
this case the internet) would be for updates. Tracker didnt seem able to
grasp what the original post was about. The previous poster was refering to
the fact that Zone Alarm will alert you when any program on the system tries
to access the internet(WAN) such as internet explorer, outlook etc, and thus
giving you the oppotunity to not allow it to do so, ie in the case of a
trojan.
