After the small thread about the tsx 3DExplorer I have been playing with
it more than I have before.
One thing I notice is that after creating an output scene. I then run
the output and when the system starts my firewall
pops up and warns of an unauthorized attempt to use port 80 (http port I
believe).
I block it and the 3DExplorer system runs normally with no problems.
This sounds like a case of "SPYWARE". I for one do not like condone or
appreciate spyware unless it is stated up front and I agree to it.
I may be wrong but I see no reason this type of application would need
to access my internet connection.
