Security alerts

Help for v2
1

I get, every few seconds, security alert telling me that "InstallShield Update Sevice Agent " is trying to connect to the Internet. The application is listed as "agent.exe and the parent is "sychost.exe. I don’t know what this is or whether I should allow it or not.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks

good work there, Novie ~ (:CLP)

And from those, here is the link specifically addressing what you are seeing…

http://consumer.installshield.com/faqs_us.asp (if we want to cut right to the chase…).

Probably ‘safe’ as far as that goes for the non-paranoid user. ;D The paranoid user may have other opinions. (:KWL)
