TSGL: Activity without being online

[Ron Brunton]

ZoneAlarm also monitors local network traffic in what it terms "trusted
zone". If she has other computers connected, including PDA, that's local
traffic. I also think ZoneAlarm monitors the Diskeeper (defrag utility)
activity. Would this be the explanation in her case?

A friend has ZoneAlarm and is telling me that she sees activity even while
not dialed up.....she's talking on the phone and she's sees a brief flicker
of the red and green bars, indicating activity.  I haven't been over there
yet to see it for myself but am wondering if this isn't just some "Windows"
function checking for a connection and trying to keep it alive if there is
one.

She also has AOL (okay, don't laugh).  I've wanted her to switch for about 2
years but can never seem to convince her.  There is also a big problem with
their proprietary software as "each and every" time she tries to make a
connection she's told that her password is no good.  She's forced to go
through all the rigamarole of filling out personal information to verify her
identity, create new password, etc.  

Any clues as to what's going on here?

TIA,
Ray
