Just entered poproxy into Google.com and found out its a norton thingy.

Can i disable it?

I believe it's used by creative labs sound cards to provide support for dos applications. If you don't use anything in dos you should be able to get rid of it.

Yeah Sputnik is spot on. If you have a Creative Soundblaster Card you can disable the Sound blaster 16 emulation(used for Dos games) in the System Control Panel. It free's up an IRQ aswell I think.

Not sure exactly as I'm in work but in Devices you will see an entry for your creative card and when you expand it(+) you will see the SB 16 emulation. Highlight and click properties and tick the box "Disable in this hardware profile". Reboot.

If you ever need to enable it again just untick the box.

poproxy is your nav email sanner simply, the tecchies answer is that you scanner acts as a proxy through which yer mails pass through, the older versions of nav showed this clearly as they blatently changed the outlook options for mail, but the newer versions are cleaner and dont show it.

BTW, this is a good thing, let it run.
