PIN requests

[peteandthira]

I am getting a lot of requests for my PIN from ZoneAlarm whilst surfing the YBW forums.

Is anyone else getting this? Does anyone know what is going on?

I have used ZoneAlarm for years and it has never asked for a PIN. I suggest you uninstall Zonealarm completely, then download and install the latest version. I assume you are using the free version. If you have the paid for Pro version it may well use a PIN to access parts of the ZoneAlarm website and get downloads only available to paid up members.

Thank you. It is the Pro version, fully paid up. I should add that I specifically asked the program to "trap" any requests for my PIN, so I assume it is a genuine request from some part of the net or YBW's site. I fear spyware seeking out things like passwords and PINs so they are all listed in ZoneAlarm and are watched by the software.
