I've been using ZoneAlarm (licensed) since 2001?, and have been happy until
latest upgrade (zapSetup_100_243_000_en.exe).
It is after the upgrade I noticed tha eBay and PayPal and ZA have "Security
Alliance" and when I noticed that I tried uninstalling ZA and that has become a
nightmare.

None of the rootkit, firewall or virus tools have been able to find a piece of
code that sends my IP address somewhere. This results in a spoof/phish email,
that although is so extremely well built, the links are correct, my IP address
is listed, telling me that I have requested a password reset: the subject line
is "Forgotten Password" and the only reason I know this a spoof/phish is
because eBay will allways place the same message in you eBay inbox and this is
not the case. I have reset my password from a different machine and network
just in case.

I have renewed IP addresses and I am not sure what triggers the activity and
thought that being a total newbie with Wireshark and had hoped to capture a
packet with my IP to some unkown destination when this happened:

Error while capturing packets: read error:
PacketREceivePacket failed

The machine has been running all night with no applications running other than
Wireshark. It sopped after:
Packets: 25133 Displayed: 25133 Marked:0 Dropped: 0

I have read http://wiki.wireshark.org/KnownBugs/OutOfMemory and will adjust my
settings to "Use multiple file" and set the size to 125MB.

Please let me know if I need to supply additional information.
