Hi, my Zonealarm recently asked me to grant blabber.exe access to the internet, but I can;t find any info on this program. All help appreciated

By the sound of that, don't even consider it. Block it.

Then run Spybot or Ad-Aware and a virus scan

I did, it doesnt show anything. Could it be legalized spyware? Thanks

Blabber is working for my school...Indiana University, could it be a spyware to see what programs I'm running? B/c a friend at syracuse had a similar program to check if he was using Kazaa, Bittorent...etc. And it cut his internet if the program scanner wasn't running. Can anyone help? Such as recommend how to disable w/o getting caught? Thx smithdk for the program

So this is a school computer? Not sure if you want to disable their software.
