Re: Ad Filtering Programs keep Ports open One of the things I've found about Ad Subtract Pro
(localhost proxy filter) and Spyblocker (Hosts
file utility) is that both will ask Zone Alarm for
server privileges. They both will still work if this
is allowed only in the local zone, but not for the
Internet. I had a security scan done here at
DSLR (basic TCP&UDP, frag, & pod) and got a -0
score using the current settings for Ad Subtract
and Spyblocker. Allowing both of these access as
an Internet server gave me a result of -11 from
an earlier scan. In general, any localhost proxy
shouldn't need to be an Internet server in order
to work.
