Should I block this?
« on: June 07, 2004, 15:47 »
Each time I go to disconnect from the Internet, Sygate  is popping up with the box below.  I have just done Ad Aware and Spybot scans, and have Spyware Blaster, and Trojan Hunter running.  It seems that Windows Explorer is trying to tell something that I am signing off.  Should I block or allow this?   :-\

I'm not using Norton, Hook.  It's Sygate.  :)

Any ideas, anyone?  It still keeps asking!   :-\

Well Simon, if saying no does not effect any running systems, tick the "remember answer" say no, and get on with the rest of your life mate ;D ;)

Have you tried running Shields Up to see if port 80 is stealthed Simon?

crl.verisign.com seems to be some kind of certificate repository.

I would guess that something on your PC is requesting verification of a digital certificate for some reason. Seems odd for it to happen through explorer.exe though.

I would block it until you find out whether it is useful, or something breaks ;)

Well, the information I found here suggests it's checking for updates to Digital Certificates, so, on balance, I've allowed it.  If I block it, there's a 5-6 second lag each time I right click something in Windows Explorer, like the poster in that thread.
