    im not sure where to ask this.,
    what is an Rst attack?

    i used to use eTrust EZ Armor firewall, but recently my 30 day free trial came up and it said i could not use it anymore without buying it, so i uninstalled that and downloaded Agnitum because i heard it was better. i get an alert pop up that notifies me of an Rst attack and sometimes a port scan attack aswell. as far as i know, that firewall blocks these right?
    i read that article and i didnt really understand alot of it

    I cannot answer that question for sure, but if the firewall is giving you a popup it would appear that it is doing its job. So the question is, why is this happening to begin with?
