    It might be loopback traffic.

    Would the traffic have anything to do with this? If so, is their a way to turn it off?

    Well nice that it´s freeware now, looks like it can be a useful tool, and it also seems to be compatible with SSM and Neoava. However, why does it needs to execute some .exe file upon startup? Also, I don´t like the fact that you need to create an account first before you can use the tool and that it wants to have network access. :shifty:

    Hi, folks: I did a test run and decided to archive it for the these reasons: (1) this app can not even remember user's previous action, keep asking same question over over again w/ annoying popups. (2) upon window booting, this app is forcibly shutdown by something (I have no clue) although autostart w/ window is chosen. (2) its advisor base is very small (less than 10,000 so far), constanly connecting to its server will not serve any good purpose. (4) that is why (IMO) it is offered free to boost up advisor's base (despite of its patent-pending technology). Not a matured app yet, IMO.

    Thanks for the feedback Perman, I guess I will have to wait for the new file protection feature in SSM and/or Neoava.

    I still think this is strange and unneccesary. :cautious:
