Zone Alarm?

Post by Ernie Renn »

Have any of you noticed that Zone Alarm is working more and more lately? It's almost constant at some times during the day.

Ernie,

I have ATT Broadband cable modem service. They claim that they have a firewall built into their modems. However, yes during the day I get over 200 attempts to have my computer accessed over funky tcp ports.

I don't run any file sharing applications or anything so no one should be trying to access my computer.

Yeah I think my Zone Alarm is working pretty hard.

I get a lot of hits too. Just for fun, sometimes I try to go to those oactions. Most are nothing-but occasionally it'll lead to a web site. Lots of times it's CNN! Very weird......
