   For the last few days Zone Alarm has alerted me that Windows Based Scripting   
   Host has been trying to access the internet. At first I thought it was   
   Outlook Express that was invoking it, but now it seems to happen several   
   times an hour when I'm online, though not actively surfing or using OE.   
   I've been denying access, but not permanently, as I'm not sure if it's   
   malicious code or a data miner, or needed by Windows for an important   
   function. I see that the alert pops up when OE checks for new messages,   
   which I   
   have set for 10 minute intervals. What puzzles me is that this has never   
   occurred before. Running XP Home SP2, OE6, and Avast! Personal Edition.   
   Adaware and Spybot S&D  find no problems. Zone Alarm was recently updated,   
   and I'm not certain, but could they have added this as a potential problem?
