    My firewall is stopping sa.windows.com from accessing the internet when I click on the search command. Is the proper?

    I have denied and it still goes and does the search

    That was a LOT of information and from it. I gather that I can just as well make the denial of sa access permanent. I am using Kerio now instead of zonealarm and this is the first time I have seen that on a SEARCH

    Search Assistant will try to connect to http://sa.windows.com This is done to check for updates to its features, tips, wording and etc. Not allowing access can cause its own set of problems, usually a "A file that is required........." error message.

    You can stop the internet access by changing the search behavior to Classic Search.


    Taken from here.
