Question about 'How do I stop Windows from connecting to the Internet every time I open my browser?' Monday, May 11, 2009 at 9:42 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by douglas (2 messages posted) I have a question about How do I stop Windows from connecting to the Internet every time I open my browser?: This is more a comment than a question. It has long been my custom to enable a phony connection as default. This of course requires that I initiate all connections, which I am perfectly happy to do because there are all kinds of sneaky entities which will make the attempt. Many times, I have been alerted to unruly or downright malignant activity on my own darn computer by a popup telling me about a connection request I had nothing to do with. thanks douglas Responses to this message: re: Question about 'How do I stop Windows from connecting to the Internet every time I open my browser?'
