Some of your ports scans may be websites you've visited. Some servers ping visitors' computers. Why? I dunno. Others are people looking for proxy servers. Still others are infected machines looking for other machines to turn into zombies.

Ditto, now if Cox would do something about the spam.

They started very recently - you should get an Email from them to sign up. It’s not perfect, but my spam dropped from over 20 a day to 2 or 3.

Today I was notified that I had several "bagel" viruses - thank you Cox for keeping them out of my desktop.

I usually get 8-12 per day.
I just recently got a particularly tricky one, it came from somebody named "Ann" at my company and had a real photo in the text of the email of a nice looking young lady.

Of course, I didn't open it, but I can see how others are easily duped by Netsky.

Netsky is by far the most prevalent virus I have ever seen.

20 a day to 2 or 3.

I suffer from hundreds.
