PLEASE READ THIS AS IT COULD BE VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU!!! As some of you know, it was a horrible week for me reformatting my computer. I lost some of my favorite bookmarks about genealogy and who knows what. After I reformatted and started from scratch, I decided to spend $80 and buy Norton Internet Security Family Edition because I felt that part of my problems if not all were related to cookies and internet activity. Boy am I glad I did!!!! (By the way, the non-Family edition is around $69.95 I think) This morning I awoke to a Big RED alert on my Norton Internet Security. Under the log it listed an IP address that someone had attempted to send an incoming UDP packet containing a "Back Orifice 2000 Trojan" to my computer that Norton had blocked. I did some surfing and found statistics at this IP site that the person who attempted the break-in was in the top 4 of activity at that domain. I don't email or know anyone with the domain but based on what I have read this morning about this activity hackers have programs that randomnly search around the net for open unprotected ports to evade. I guess to them it isn't anything personal they just are out to infect whoever they can. Pitiful. I know $70 is a lot of money but after spending $2000 on a computer, is it really that much to protect it. I'm thoroughly impressed by this program and wouldn't operate without it based on all I've read. I now have a firewall up and feel protected. By the way, for those with families, it totally blocked my daughter from a zillion sites when I put "sex" in a google.com search. It also blocked her account from attempting to operate MIRC chat program. Sharon
