Blocking RealPlayer....

**Ne007** · June 12th, 2005, 05:06 PM

I was wondering if there was a way to permanently block realplayer from the interent with sygate personal firewall?

I block it...but it just keeps coming back saying something like "this program has changed since the last time that you used it."

I end up having to block it a billion times a day and it's annoying.
Thanks.

Just don't use it! Most sites have multi-play options so stick with wmp and quicktime!

Or just disable the startup program assigned to real player. Or if you have IE with sp2, open up "manage add-ons" and disable the real player option!

Do they play .rmvb files? The only reason I use realplayer is because I have some entertainment created as .rmb files.

I like the quality for how small the files are.....is their any other programs that will play these files?

hmmm...i thought I did disable real in startup....but I didn't...now I have. I was wondering why it was running in the background.....

I'll give this a shot, thanks
