O.P.  spyware in tabbed msn?
First of all, this is not an accusation, but a genuine question...
Whenever I run the latest version of tabbed msn (update 2.1, 8-1-2004) it opens up a port (usually 0 but i have seen it use 7000) and starts downloading from 108.252.18.0:4096. The weird thing is only netlimiter(www.netlimiter.com) seems to be able to detect or block this. Keiro Pesonal Firewall and Outpost Pro do not even see the open port, blocking the i address does nothing, and the network status lights do not show any traffic.
The other thing is that I dont see any traffic going out of my computer from tabbed msn - not one byte.
It only happens in the latest version of tabbed msn, earlier versions i have are fine (but have other bugs).
Can anyone else confirm this? It seems very strange that netlimiter would be the only program able to detect the connection, but it can't be just imagining it. I imagine a hardware monitor would be more reliable in detecting any traffic, but do not have access to one.
Unfortunately netlimiter can't block the connection completely, only speed limit it, so I won't be using tabbed msn until I get this sorted out
Any halp would be appreciated, as long as it is not just unfounded accusations/defense of tabbed msn
