No, CDDB connection is disabled. I can't find anywhere (in 5.5.10.28) to
disable auto-update checking. Is this on by default?
I got the same connection again last night - 400kB of data exchanged between
me and 166.90.203.130, always connecting to me at port 80.
I suppose I'll just put the IP in my Hosts file and block it.

Using free Kerio 214, I have IE web-browsing restricted to 80,8080,
3128,443,20,21 with 'log when rule matches'. Can't logging in ZA be
set by application. Nero 5.5.9.13 has not connected through IE.
