Alright, what does this mean? I'm going to work and will respond asap.

I was on Free Republic at the time it came up.

RATS are trying to break in your pc and see if you donated to swiftvets.com.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

This happens on DSL often as computer address is always the same.
seldom on dial up as address changes each time you log on.

[Bullish]

It means you should turn your computer off for good because you can't understand simple instructions.

Sorry.

Kazaa??,P>

I keep getting 'popup-behind' ads on FR!! Maybe that has something to do with it?

[Drango]

Should I be concerned?
No.

Worth repeating!

It could be a hacker trying to find a computer to break into. You just happened to be in the block of internet addresses he was scanning.

Or, it could be a harmless "spider" scanning the internet for an ftp search engine.

There are systems and people out on the internet scanning for open "ports" (ports are software connection points where communication can be established between a couple of computers) all the time, for reasons ranging from innocent to malevolent. ZoneAlarm blocked one of them, which is its job. As the other poster said, it's probably just as well to set ZOneAlarm to not notify you each time, since there's nothing for you to do about it anyway. In addition to ZoneAlarm, you should be running an antivirus program like Norton ANtivirus, and subscribing to the update service (I think Norton's is $30 a year) so that it keeps up to date. An antivirus program without updates is doing you no good.
