I appreciate the responses, and if my computer was older, I'd really wonder. As far as the LW download, I did download it at the link you provided in the first place. I have a current antivirus installed. Keep in mind this computer is only a few weeks old, haven't used it that long. I know that doesn't matter, but it didn't make sense. I ran adaware and spybot search and destroy and nothing out of the ordinary there.

Could it be in downloading video that that triggered it somehow? Maybe (I don't know, because I'm oblivious to to inner workings of the computer) if in downloading video, numbers are sent, and since may numbers and combinations are sent, this triggered it?

Keep in mind that how I knew about the ssn wanting to be sent was zone alarm's box opening up and saying someone was trying to send first my ssn, then my wife's ssn to a particular ip address, and that ip address kept on changing. so new boxes opened up asking for permission to send it, which I of course declined. ZA stopped it, but I'm just trying to figure it out. Especially since the only place on this computer that I have our two ssn's entered (as far as I know) is the id lock list from ZA.

Since then, I have not had any more requests for permission to send the ssn's, but then again, I haven't run the LW app again.

I also, as a check, ran an online virus scan, with nothing popping up at all.
