sentry.ini

Any idea what sentry.ini is and does. I am running zonealarm and this appears in the list of programs that may want access to the internet and therefore I wondered what it was so that I know wether to block access or not?

Thanks

Adrian

Not so sure but check google for it ,I think it may be some sort of spyware on your computer,if it is download a free copy of spybot search and destroy or adaware6 and they will clean up things like that.

It's spyware by IPInsight.

I was worried that it might be that. however I run adaware 6 plenty of times and it hasn't picked it up. Thanks for the help.

Make sure you keep Ad-Aware's definitions up to date.

Get Spybot Search & Destroy and run it as well as Ad-Aware. It might catch stuff that Ad-Aware misses and vice-versa.
