Dumb Miscellaneous Question

Hey, I'm kinda new to the wonderful world of weirdos trying to give me free stuff like trojans and whatnot, so I have been using the kerio personal firewall. In the last day or so its stopped 83 attempted intrusions (or at least I hope it did). Anywho I was just wondering if this would be considered a "normal" number or if theres anything I can do to reduce that. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

normal. Actually, I would have expected much higher.

Wowsers! Now I know why that Adrynalyn (sp?) guy says he hates the internet! Thanks for the fast reply, as for the link, I've gone through it all tons o' times and think at this point I'm about as protected as I can be. Thanks for the help.

 

Adryn and I both hate the internet. Which one of us hates people more is still up for debate

 

Well, I don't mind people so much as long as they're on the internet and I'm not related to them. Maybe you guys should start some sort of poll then all the people who you hate could rate how hated they feel. That might be fun....or not. I don't know much about computers, but you're definitely right about Zone Alarm being a "bloated pile of poop". Have a good day!
