Performance ceases to spike. Good progams trying to be helpful via the
web, go to bed.

Closing off all ports prevents queries from "good" programs from going
bad from where I'm sitting.

If the port isn't available, no queries are made and system performance
is nice. I like nice.

Just an interesting observation.

(Zone alarm is a firewall. Right clicking gives the option to lock down
a PC's internet traffic... And requests, apparently.)

Is Zone Alarm aware of this ?
