No. There is no POP on this machine. This is not related to email. But as far as protocols go... Logging onto Windows should be just local. Right? Logging onto ISP should be PPP PAP protocol; then TCP/UDP. Right? Then proxy logon; then using SSL. Another issue is that sometimes these are being captured; sometimes not. I am not sure what causes that info to be retained. By its very nature, since tmp files are temporary, that file disappears. My question still is what program is causing this retention. Is this unencrypted data being transferred? On 3/24/10, Graham Bloice <graham.bloice () trihedral com> wrote:

Then maybe after a half hour, I may then start up a WS capture. Still, even after all that time between logons and actually starting a capture, the etherXXXXa tmp file still contains this private info. According to Jeff, the etherXXXXa file only captures what is not encrypted. That makes this even more scary. That means that not only is the info being captured but it isn't even being protected by even low-grade encryption.What protocol is carrying this info, might it be POP3? -- Regards, Graham Bloice
