Hi,

For some reason, when my laptop launches Firefox, Zone Alarm shows this alert:

Then this alert

I'm a bit worries as the first one (127.x) is not the IP of my router (192.x) and the second one is not my IP address.

Is this some sort of virus / trojan?

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address which is your own computer.

From the looks of it, the first alert is just telling you the something is trying to access the internet and that zonealarm has caught it. The second one is firefox doing a DNS lookup to try and get to whatever URL your trying to get to.

Both quite standard looking things to me
