    Okay so i have Zone Alarm Pro as a fire wall. Maybe its just me not understanding the reason of the program. But when I opened it up this morning, it says it has blocked like 20k intrusions since install(i did a reformatt of computer about 2weeks ago, which is when i reinstalled Zone Alarm Pro). So my question to you is should i worry about this? Get some extra protection? Ignore it?

    My antivirus also found 2 virus's on my comp but deleted them with ease. My computer i guess, is on a network with my brothers(though we didnt set up any shared folders or printers or all that snazzy stuff).

    System Specs:

    Pent 4 2.0ghz
    Jetway P4x400 mobo
    bfg nvidia 6200 256mb
    SBC dsl
    Lynksus(sp?) 2.4ghz wireless router(though our comps dont use the wireless part lol)

    Sorry if i should of posted this in network or not, was torn between where to put it.

    See where the intrusions are coming from ....also, make sure that it's allowing your networked connections (your brothers computer ....could also be from your isp...)

    Borsung, it is quite common to see that number of intrusions I have 18,000 of those 5,000 were high-rated!!!! I seem to remember when I installed ZA, that I to was worried about the number, but did not know about MG, so just took a wait and see attitude. The number will grow over time, but it means the program is working ..Right. Switching away from MS Explorer/Outlook will help to reduce the job ZA has to do though. Windows Defender Beta2 is a great back-up to both your Firewall 7 Antivirus and is FREE from MS.

    Try singing "Don't worry be Happy" worked for me when I first saw my Intrusion numbers.
