exe trying to send packet

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/exe trying to send packet

hi, just curious.
randomly when i'm testing my game, my firewall(Sygate)
pops up and says that the exe is trying to send a packet.

i was wondering if this happens to anyone else, and if so,
do they know why.

i haven't added any net code yet, but im using the GameFramework.

so if its not specific to BlitzMax, i'll ask Jake on his forum.

What is this gameframework, and does it have some form of registration (is it a demo?). It might initialise a net engine, and your firewall is getting a hit on that event.

Otherwise, if it's some form of commercial software that requires registration, it might be trying to contact a master server for details in ensuring what you're using isn't an illegal copy or some crap. But I have no idea what this gameframework is.

Edit: It's not blitzmax. Go give one of the blitzmax' demos a go, and see if that same firewall event raises. That should give you your answer right there.

i checked the sygate logs after posting, and it classifies it as 'Application Hijacking'.

so i'm wondering if its a virus?
or if its something else.

Edit:
it happend again today, heres the log.

Application Hijacking has been detected
The application: C:\Program Files\BlitzMax\bin\bmk.exe try to launch another application: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Projects\BLITZMAX\includes\GameFramework\test\test.exe

i guess its just BlitzMax launching my exe.
i just think its wierd, because it has only started doing
this a couple days ago.

it doesn't always do it only randomly.
