Just because of a popup you are going to turn off sharing :rolleyes:

Well you should be happy that you are getting popups each time someone is downloading. So you know who is downloading from you and you would know when someone is downloading from you.

By the way,
@Storm, can you modify your pic so it doesnt have your ip :rolleyes:

well i tried turning sharing of, but that didnt help........ weird thing is that kazaa uses a diffrent port than 4662 on my comp for incomming connections...........

@I.am: thnx 4 the tip....... prolly saves me alot more pop-ups ;)

Why don't just choose "Block" & tick the box:"Always use this action" ?
That's what I do & it works.

sygate need to be setted up & doesn't blok popups in websites. however it's efficient for the rest & doesn't use muckh ressources.

Are you using e-mule or e-donkey?

What other programs are you using that would communicate when that pops up?

Why not just attempt to trace the IP provider's general locale? You will really not get anything more than perhaps some domain information from their service but you can tell by looking at it if the information is so far "out-there" to see if it is truely a threat or not.

From there you can create a "rule" to fit your needs if it is indeed caused by someone using Kazaa to download on that specific port.
