you mean that Sucker is That Obstinate?

Probably...  and, you do realize that the fact it's auto updater can't be de-selected, 
that classifies WMP as spyware.

Anyway it is blocked in my Firewall as well.

I have it blocked, as well, but I now use Comodo. It not only has an app monitor 
but a component monitor, as well, so there are more rules  to create. I get all these 
alerts... annoying, but that's progress. :)

Irrelevant, but...I miss the simplicity of my older version of Kerio, but I finally 
had to give it up. It started causing Stop errors for some unknown reason, and I 
wasn't about to go through the daunting task of finding out why.
