I have my firewall up and my Winamp is trying to connect to AOL through port 52 or something like that. It crashes my machine, as well. WTF is going on? When I installed it I specifically checked the box that I do not have an internet connection. I'm uninstalling this sh1t!

Do you have "Check for new versions of Winamp at startup" checked (in Options -> Preferences) ?

I thought AOL bought Winamp?

I think they did. I hate these assholes from AOL. You know their headquarters are in Langley, Virginia. Figure that one out.

Could be time for Ad-Aware.

I use AtGaurd and it catches all these popups. It even catches WinAMP trying to connect to AOL through the file player. The problem is, it crashes my machine shortly after. Did I say I hate AOL?

YES!!!! and [/b]THX![/b] :)

I've been looking for a place that has the older version of Zone Alarm (ver 2.6.362). It's FAR better than the newer version, which basically sucks. They have some version 2.6. I don't know if it's that exact version, but I'll d/l it and find out. Whatever it is, it's close enough. I've been looking for this to help a lot of friends. :)
