-pops- Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 - - -and that has told you not a lot.Be careful not to get too concerned about this. If anyone was trying to hack you with any serious intentions they would use spoof addresses that defy any search that tries to find them.Be thankful that your firewall is doing what it is intended to do and carry on using your machine for what you want to do with it.A long time ago I used a well known (paid for) firewall that interrupted me and told me every few minutes that something or other was trying to enter my machine. I found out that this is a normal process called probing or something and is done all the time with quite innocent intent. This firewall got on my nerves so much I chucked it out and installed Outpost. It does its job really well and doesn't come crying to me every few minutes because it doesn't know what to do.

-pops- Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 As intimated, I use Outpost free version from www.agnitum.com/ Don't use the UK site as they don't do the free versionNo complaints at all. Easy to set up, does its job, doesn't complain unnecessarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
