Is irrlicht Spyware :?

Hi, I know it is not, but I would like to now why my antifirewall detects that Irrlicht is trying to acces the red.
It occurs when I go focus out and in sometimes in the application.

Is my firewall going crazy?

I use Panda.

Well, Irrlicht is no application - so it's obviously not Irrlicht.
If it does that in your application, well, maybe you are writing spyware? :-)

Jaja, sorry. Obviusly is my aplication. But the only code doen't know for me (beside c++`standar librarys) is irrlicht.
And I don't have anything that can acces ports or anything like that.

There is no network code in Irrlicht, so I really don't know why a firewall would complain. I agree that it's strange...

Are you using an old version of Irrlicht? This has been covered on these forums at least once, but it is hard to find unless you know exactly what you're searching for. Regardless, here is another post talking about the exact same issue. The problem might be that the GetAdapterIdentifier() call in CD3D8Driver.cpp should pass D3DENUM_NO_WHQL_LEVEL as the 2nd parameter. If the parameter is 0, then that is the problem. The same fix is not needed for the D3D9 driver, as it defaults to disable the functionality.
