Hello,

I see Netscape Browser trying to use Localhost in my Firewall Log that I
usually Block, so I made Rule to Block it that I can change to Allow
later if it is not a problem:
Everything seems to work fine with it Blocked.

Rule "Localhost NETSCP.EXE TCP-UDP" blocked (localhost,http). Details:
Outbound TCP connection
Local address,service is (0.0.0.0,1053)
Remote address,service is (localhost,http)
Process name is "E:\PROGRAM FILES\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPE\NETSCP.EXE"

Everything else using Localhost is Blocked (I don't like being used as a
server, Zombie or otherwise) but should I allow this one?

Thank you for your help

Kevin
