you probably have the subseven/trojan application ports open?

I only get about 3 trojan port attacks a day.

1243
6667
6711
6712
27374
27573

i think these are some subseven ports..

I too have heard that Kerio is very good.

MacAfee Personal Firewall 2004 is a 5mb download off Kazaa too.

try and find tiny personal firewall or kerio personal firewall, they are better than zonealarm. get them off kazaa

i would imagine that the warning you are seeing is not as severe as it appears, it is porbably just an ip sweep by a hacker scanning hundreds of machines for an open port, most firewall software will alert you to this and at first it seems far more serious than it is.

try and find a program called "tooleaky" or "firehole" once u have installed your firewall this will show how easily bypassed they are.

if your really concerned about security the only realy secure firewall is a hardware one, you can use an ancient 486 pc to be your firewall so dosnt need to be expensive

zone alarm pro works very well :thumbs:

i dont want to buy one :P

Buy a hardware NAT firewall, far more effective

are there any free firewalls avaliable

it happens to me too, trojan etc, norton virus just start flashing :/god knows what it is

Yeah i got firewall and antivirus. It just pisses me off how it ALWAYS attacks, same thing every time! Did a test AGES ago using symantecs website when the virus/trojan first started attacking and it said something about that I have a port which is locked open and im vunerable...:boggle:

I get warnings, but i just let them try and get blocked

you got firewall and anti virus?

Anyone any ideas why a Backdoor/Subseven Trojan keeps trying to attack my computer every 15mins im online? How do I stop this? Nortan spots it and blocks it but it always happens... :(
