But if you don’t install the “Network Shield” what is then redirecting POP3 and SMTP traffic to the mail-scanner? Is there yet another service filtering all IP-traffic installed 
I have not enabled the Network Shield (have both hardware and software firewalls) and I now use the e-mail scanner with the “AutoRedirect=0” (Win98 mode) and that works.
So is there still a service monitoring the IP-traffic for no reason
And if there is, can I stop that service 
(my XP stakes forever to start, even with all non-important services stopped, don’t know why, avast! is scanning programs for 30-40 seconds before ZoneAlarm start and network is available - guss I’ll have to enabled the “show details” to see what all those programs scanned are
