Have gotten this alert twice now with Zone Alarm:

"Do you want to allow Microsoft (R) HTML Application host access to the net?

Technical Information:
Port:4608
Application:MSHTA.EXE
Version: 6.00.2800.1106

I denied it of course. Seems a mighty long version number for one thing and an application host of an exe file?

Also had a window open "http://object passthison.com/vu083003/object.cgi?chedx-ad4
Never have had one like this open and it was empty other than the name at the top.

Is this a hack attempt or a virus?

This is an attempt to change your homepage I think

Thanks for the translation Koicarp. hmmm...I wasn't even browsing ang sites when this came up. Anyhow denying access is the safe way to go.
