Now I have an Epson printer file that wants to act as a server, does anyone know why?
Hopefully you do have an Epson printer. If so, do you want to allow print sharing? If not, mark to not allow .
From the Zone Alarm pro help section:
ZoneAlarm Pro controls server applications. Server applications listen for incoming connection requests and respond to those requests.
By checking the Allow Server checkbox or right-clicking on a program in the Program List, you can limit server applications to be accessible from your Local Zone or prevent them altogether.
One example is when you launch an application that wants to accept incoming connections, i.e. act as a server to the Internet, you will be presented with the option of allowing this application to act as a server.
Communication applications like ICQ, NetMeeting typically require server rights in order to function properly with ZoneAlarm Pro. ZoneAlarm Pro now identifies these applications upon launching them, allowing you to temporarily assign them server rights when they launch.
Many Trojan horse programs are, in effect, server applications that allow hackers to control your computer from a remote source. ZoneAlarm Pro lets you control these applications by letting you specify which programs can act as servers. For greater control, ZoneAlarm Pro lets you specify whether a server can communicate with the Internet Zone, or if it is restricted to the Local Zone.
If an application on your computer attempts to respond to a remote request without prior permission from you, ZoneAlarm Pro will detect this and prompt you for permission. |
