Ok, just got a sonicwall Pro 200 up and running at work. This damn Weatherbug thing has been getting more hits then anything else. I know their little download uses port 80. I have blocked weatherbug.com and wisapidataweatherbug.com by keyword in my firewall, but it still keeps getting hits. Anyone know how to effectively block this pain in the arse?
THANX!
