This is precisely why I prefer ZA over BID.  ZA intercepts all 
incoming and outgoing traffic and alerts you.  If you have external 
security set to high (the default), then you have to give your 
permission for every prog that wants access outside your machine. 
 That means all the trojans.  I dunno bout you, but if oooiii.exe is 
asking for permission to access the internet, I'm not inclined to 
grant it. ;-)
