Hi!
My SW-Firewall (ZoneAlarm) keeps producing alerts on startup. An
application called "vsihoyguy5.exe" tries accessing the gateway on DNS
Port and Localhost: Port XXXX (changing). The Process doing this
changes every time ("process 860 is trying to.." the next time it's
process 348 and so on), thats why ZoneAlarm keeps alerting me and the
remembered settings are no use.

The application properties window shows the following:

Path: C:\Windows\System32
Size: 0 Bytes (!)
and so on..

I can't find the file "vsihoyqy5.exe" at this path, I didn't find any
information about the file on internet and groups and Spybot, Adaware
and some online Security Scanners didn't find anything.

I installed Java 1.5 recently, could this be the Problem? (I
personally don't think so..)

I'm using Windows XP.

Can anybody help me, any idea?

Thanks a lot,

cheers,
Jonas
