    I'm running XP SP2 and the free version of Zone Alarm. I recently installed Real Player, and ever since, I see that ZA is blocking multiple attempts of realplay.exe trying to access the internet. Domains vary, including us.mcafee.com, several different Comcast (my ISP) locations, mail.comcast.net, and update.zonelabs.com. What's up with this?

    If real player is calling home it should be consistant with where it's calling to. Also real play I know used to have ads running on it so it could be grabbing banners from those sites.

    I might suggest you switching over to the Real Player Alterantive.

    Check this thread for more info.
