ZoneAlarm Fire Wall

[FrankSG]

I have ZoneAlarm as my firewall. Today I was going to download Real Player and I got that Pop-Up alert from ZoneAlarm that asked, "Do you want to run a DLL as an App?" I clicked on "No" because I wasn't sure what it meant. Does anyone know? Thanks

There is a program supplied with Windows called Rundll.exe that can be used to run a function from a .dll without opening it in a program. That is probably what was happening, Real was trying to use rundll to use some functionality of a dll. Look at Microsoft's KB article about rundll and rundll32 for more info on these programs.
