I still have a lot of unexplained traffic being block by my firewall. Does anyone know what I can do to combat this intrusive activity?

Are you using Zone-alarm? I use it and it works well at blocking access and in blocking programs on your computer from accessing the web. I had 21 hits today, many from the same site or at least the same network with only a different last 3 digits.

I don't know what you can do to stop the attempted intrusions from outside.

check where they're connecting to. Do a whois search somewhere like Same Spade or Geektools. It'll give you the company that owns the address it's connecting to. That can sometimes clue you off.

Is this inbound activity or programs trying to connect to the Internet. You can't do much about the former, it's a wild internet out there. The latter could be evidence of a problem.

The ad programs that we have been talking about usually don’t show up on firewall logs because they use the browser, which is a trusted program.
