What does "trying to act as a server" mean and should I allow it?

Question

I have ZoneAlarm, and on some occasions, such as when I try to logon to my BT mail, a warning comes up saying things like "ypager.exe is trying to act as a server" and asking me whether I wish to allow this. I have no idea! Should I allow it or will it create complications?
Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

It's perfectly safe to allow this connection. To stop seeing those "scary" things when it comes up alow it permently. Then if something bad comes in, Zone Alarm will catch it. I've used Zone Alarm for 3 years now and I feel it's the best.

Also you could re-adjust your Program OS firewall to not give you advice. Smart Defender is a pain sometimes.
