Thanks for your reply Silj. I'm still of the opinion that it's 'not my end'
tho', as I've not (to my knowledge) changed any firewall settings,
particularly since the same thing happened on the last update (see the
SE1R51 thread on the 21st) which after a little more patience than this time
<g>, healed itself.
BTW - I've (sadly) given up using ZA due to the issues I've had with their
"True Vector" engine, on this box. I 'hope' I am still adequately protected
(and so far, appear to be) with my router and XP firewalls - although I do
miss the ZA reports, if only for academic reasons <g>

Mmm.. but it does 'appear' to shake hands - hence the report - and Jack even
had the same experience last time and Harry, this time.

I'll await the next Ad-Aware update (with great anticipation - and a
somewhat more liberal amount of patience) and then consider that option.
