Yesterday I did an update on my free version of ZoneAlarm (now v4.5.530) and noticed a rather unusual thing in Windows98.

When looking at the running tasks (in the window when you press ctrl-atl-del) there is the dialup service (Rnaapp.exe) running which is very odd because I use broadband.
Spyware/dialer? Absolutely not. I checked in Norton System Info and it is the ZoneAlarm monitor VSMON.EXE that is in fact calling Rnaapp.exe. If you end the task on Rnaap.exe then it just fires itself up again. I don't think this happens with ZoneAlarm running on XP and is probably confined to windows o/s versions with that DUN (Dial up Networking) client such as in 95,98/se (ME?).

There is absolutely no reason for ZA to require Rnaapp.exe be loaded when using a network/broadband.
The only permanent way round it I can think of is to unload zonelarm, end the rnaap task, rename rnaap.exe to something else and then restart Zonealarm.
Of course I could uninstall DUN but then I'm knackered if I need to dial up when there is broadband outage.

Anyone else got any ideas?

edit: note that it is only the dialup Rnaapp that is being loaded into memory but there is no attempt by it to actually run a connection to a modem and dial up anything.
