Emulators trying to connect

[Gouk]

Why are most of my emulators trying to connect to the internet?

I use ZoneAlarm Pro and this problem has been around for some time.

These emulators don't even have any online play ability so why they are giving Firewall alerts I don't know.

Take a look at the screenshot.

Virus, Trojan? who knows.... lol

Did you scan them before running them?

Of course, all of the executables come from their official webpages.
