On a different computer, WHENEVER i try writing the combination "all" in an internet FORUM , there appear only three stars, like this: ***.
I wonder why this is and if anyone has ever heard of this sort of PROB. You can imagine that it is sort of annoying...
Thanks in advance for your help!Does this only happen on internet forums?  Does it happen whilst typing or after the message is posted?it happens after the message is posted. at first i thought it had to do with the forum, but it has happened in various internet forums, so i guess it is something with my computer.
as far as i can tell it only happens with forums...Hmm...

If you post the same message to the same forum from both computers in question, do you get different results?  Can you post a link to an example page where the problem is occurring?i am now at this computer, and i write for instance "*** i ***ege is ***owed".
i guess it has got to do something with zone alarm (because before i inst***ed it everythign was alright) but i just can't figure out what EXACTLY... i am re***y out of ideas  thanks for your help, i figured it out myself now...
it was zone alarm and something with identity protection. i am not the only user at this pc, so someone put the word "all" for some reason there   anyway, thanks Well what a REALLY helpful feature THAT is.  

Thanks for reporting back.  Filed in my brain under "YET more stupid things that 'security' software can do..."
