Re: tvdumpflags=10

Hello,
I also found this entry in autoexec.bat ( win98se ) and went looking.
Found this thread useful.
Looked in Zone Alarm, on the preferences tab there is an "exceptions" link, to help. Which says

'
Alert me with a pop-up before I make contact

Displays a warning before contacting Zone Labs to deliver registration information, get product updates, research an alert, or access DNS to look up IP addresses.

Note: There are certain situations in which you will not be notified before contact is made. Those include sending Zone Labs Secure Community data to Zone Labs, contacting Zone Lab for program advice, when an antivirus update is performed, or when monitoring your antivirus status. The "Share setting anonymously..." setting below, turns off the Secure Community transfer. All other settings can be disabled from the main tab of their respective panels.
'


Which is the first time I was aware that I could not turn off all the information being sent from my pc.

Hi Spooler & Charles. Good information. Thank you.

I did disable 'Set tvdumpflags=10' and have noticed no operating differences. But that doesn't mean that there really aren't any.

Again, can find no obvious 'link' from this entry to the registry.

ZA can certainly provide simple answers to these questions if they choose to.

What happens when you edit your autoexec.bat file to delete that line?
