I was amazed to see that ZoneAlarm had obtained my clipboard's current
contents when running the free ZoneAlarm Anonymizer Privacy Test from:
http://www.anonymizer.com/privacytest/2.0/privacytest.cgi?test=2
I am running WindowsXP SP2 Professional with no problems on a network of
three PCs, have a fixed IP on broadband (shared through a router) and am
using the free ZoneAlarm version 4.5.538.001 on all PCs instead of the
Microsoft firewall.
After seeing my clipboard's contents from ZoneAlarm, I confirmed that my
Remote Desktop was still disabled and then enabled "Do Not Allow Clipboard
Redirection" policy via gpedit.msc.
To my surprise this made no difference - can anybody out there please let me
know how this serious security problem can be resolved from within Windows
XP SP2.
Many thanks, Rob
