Subject: RE: BS: Tech: Your Firewall is Illegal?
Don,
I'm surprised these days if the little "alarm" icon isn't flashing after I've been online for a few minutes. It's going right now, let's see who it is: the program says an address at 61.174.174.217 is the culprit. The tracing feature of my Norton Firewall says this is from "Chinanet-ZJ" (in Zhejiang province) in China. China Telecom is not likely to slap anyone's wrist for running programs that try to break into Earthlink accounts in Texas. I keep my Antivirus up to date, and when I turn off my computer at night I also turn it off at the power supply so it can't reanimate during the night when I'm sound asleep. Soon I'll have a router in, and we'll see if that helps shield my computer better.
