When I sign on to internet, ZoneAlarm keeps asking me if I want to give ClientSideProxy.exe access. When I go to "More information" ZoneAlarm has none on this. I keep denying access just to be on safe side. Does anyone know what this is and if it would be OK to give access? Thanks for any advice!

You can give it access...its part of MSN

Hey, this clientsideproxy seems to slow my machine down to a hault when I connect to the internet...What is it far and do I really need it??? Also, what is SALM??? It seems to slow my machine down as well when I connect to the internet...While I have discarded a lot of Ad Ware, I'm not sure if these programs are Ad Ware or if they are just legitimate programs that have been corrupted...Thanks...

salm is part of the 180search spyware. I suggest you get a HijackThis log posted over in the HJT forum and get cleaned up.
