Possible Spy Attack?

Windows XP and Zone Alarm both detect new network but I
haven't installed a new network device. Yesterday ZA
asked me to name the network (strange IP address)- I
named it "Possible Spy". Later I noticed that it
disappeared from the ZA zones list. Is this some kind of
hacker activity, family members mischief, or Windows XP
glitch?

TIA,

Phil

Nope.
Check the documentation in Zone Alarm, or ZA website for
steps to fix this.
-> you have to set the rules for zonealarm to always
trust a new network.
A notification in ZA is not an XP "glitch", if anything,
it is a ZA "glitch",this is extremely common in ZA, if
the rule is not set.
