I have a problem with my computer accessing the web while
I'm playing my flight simulator. I know this because I
have my anti-virus program running and it alerts me when
ever my laptop sends or receives anything from the
internet. Just disabling my connection keeps my computer
from the internet but the programs that access the web
keep trying for what ever reason. How can I shut all of
them down while playing my flight simulator? When my
computer access the internet, it takes resources that I
need and my simulator starts running choppy. Any ideas
or suggestions?

This is a Microsoft Access database newsgroup, and you will probably get a
better answer in a gaming group, but let me try to help.

If you use your task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del only once to bring it up, or you
may reboot) You can see wich files are running and end the ones that are
offensive). You can also use ZoneAlarm:

which has both a free edition and an inexpensive edition which also
protects other things and eliminates spyware programs that phone home.
