Why does ZoneAlarm say that eDexter is accessing the Internet?

0

ZoneAlarm may say that eDexter is asking for server rights the first time you run it, but you may safely deny that permission. After eDexter is running, you may occassionaly receive an alert stating that eDexter is attempting to access the Internet. eDexter does not attempt to access the Internet at any time, and this is probably an error in the way ZoneAlarm is handling a port 80 probe. “What you are most likely seeing is ZoneAlarm reporting a port 80 probe to your computer. ZoneAlarm then reports whatever seems to own any port 80 even if it is only on the localhost. You should set ZoneAlarm to deny internet server access for eDexter.
