Complicating matters, Microsoft shrouds a number of
services in the svchost.exe process, which can run in
multiple instances. So if you allow svchost through the
firewall it's not so easy to know exactly what you're
allowing. And ZA can't differentiate between the actual
processes running under the svchost "hat".

Actually it is possible to determine what each instance of svchost
is doing. WMI can show what is executed by each instance and you
can use the Task Manager interactively to determine that
information (you probably need to modify the view to show the
columns). The sysinternals site in Microsoft has a process monitor
that can show the information.

The ZoneAlarm people are technical enough that they could hook each
instance of svchost if necessary.


Look man, those users using ZA (home users most likely) or any other
personal FW solutions are not savvy enough to find a hidden process,
because I have talked with them in other NG(s) including ZA users
about using PE, how to use it and they couldn't find a thing,
probably looking right at it in their face.

I said nothing about users. I said "ZoneAlarm people", not ZoneAlarm
users.

You make no sense none whatsoever. If one using the ZA application,
then one is a *user* of ZA.


I know you are an intelligent person, therefore you are using your
intelligence to be ignorant. Obviously you don't want to understand.

Understand what? And you're sitting there and saying that some software
developer for ZA is going to tap into SVChost.exe? What are are they
going to be doing?

When the verbal going gets tough, people with lower IQ's and

tend to fall back to personal insults.
Pfft, you are a llort, a responder, and you can reverse spell the word.

Might want to check your system time there, smart guy, for a guru you
seem to have some real issues.

You lunatic, the clock on my machine is correct. Now how long it takes
to get there once I send it is another story. Old man, you are really silly.

The clock in the link is not US, but old man, you had better calculate
what time it is when you see "On Thu, 19 Feb 2009 12:18:46 -0500" and
what that -0500 means, smart guy.

Except I don't know how to determine the newsgroup that a person is replying
from so I might clip the newsgroup that a person is replying from. Most of
the discussion in this thread is not important so I will take a chance that
the reply does not get to the person I am replying to.

Hey Root, Jack, Sam, Rafters, and Bob --

Would y'all mind taking microsoft.public.vb.vista.compatibility out of the
discussion?

This thread seems to have *nothing* at all to do with Visual Basic.

Thanks... Karl
