Hi all.
I was surfing along (I have pop-up stopper enabled) and up pops this window telling me to input my product code. Of course I didn't. Have any of you ever encountered this before? I thought at first it was a scam to get people's #'s, but then I thought my # is only good for this computer. Isn't that right?
I tried to capture it but when I pasted nothing was there. Very strange-any comments?

sounds like netsend to me.
are you running a firewall?

try this, go to start > run

type in CMD then hit enter. in the command window that pops up type


netsend 127.0.0.1 Please enter Your Serial Number.


wait a second...

did the box look like that?
install kerio its free

Netsend? Isn't that for office programs on a network? No, I don't use that. As for the firewall, I have xp.
The box looked just like when you're downloading....
do you want to install and run...... only without saying that. It did say something like check for authenticity, enter your # and it gave 5 boxes just like when I installed.

the windows XP firewall sucks kelli it stops INCOMMING connections, but not OUTGOING. its like blackice.
if someone installed a bot on your machine you would never know about it.
trust me get kerio and turn xp firewall off

GeForce-5... whew, you've been a busy boy.......
FYI, I did as FthrJACK suggested, and I also did a search and I have no such thing on my system. As I stated earlier, it wasn't a problem-just a strange occurence.
As for "following instructions" and "listening" there is such a thing as an "informed decision". To do something just on one person's say-so, would be (to take a word from your page) "Gay".
BTW, FthrJACK-after looking into it, I did decide to install Kerio-thanks for the suggestion, thanks go to Pia for suggesting it as well.
