Re: [OT] Zone labs firewall or other

[Justin <justin@xxxxxxx>]

Ian,

if it is possible to fire off an app once a popup has appeared and before
clicking on it, then I don't see why it shouldn't work. But it's a bit of a
kludge, so as you say, a new firewall is probably in order.

I'll email you the code I have anyway.

Justin.
