Interesting... does it work with any browser? Or just IE? Is it a Win XP thing or is it in all Versions? I switched to Mozilla several months ago and I've always been very aware of what my connection is doing when Online. I dont think I've seen any suspicious activity.
Depends on the programmers of the browser. Hopefully it's just IE. Personally, I like my browsers to just be browsers, and not try to also be my computer's operating system, or something that allows remote computers to run programs on my computer without my explicit knowledge, etc.
