In reply to a post by Brunel:
Tried this, Windows FW fails miserably.

Hi, use the Free ZoneAlarm, I would not be without it, I find it very effective and it has
a neat real easy to use interface.

Spot on there.... On further investigation it appears that the older version of Paint Shop Pro that I had donated is a cracked copy.

Well at least I know my way round XP firewall.

If you know where 'Home' is add the entry

127.0.0.1 homeurl

in your hosts file usually found at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

Problem is, I have no idea where "home" actually is.

But may be something connected with Protexis Licensing.

If you used Zone Alarm (free) firewall, you would know (I suspect you would with others too), and could block it.
