Internet Security Update

Amazing

A while back I noted that I was having many hacking attemts along with back door Trojans being submitted to my PC. This number has continued to be about 15 to 20 per day. I mentioned it again today in another post. Just as I am about to leave work, I checked my log and found that no hacking or other negative attempts have taken place other than Ad and Cookie blocking. It is nice to go a day without these events, but I find it interesting that most attempts were from the same source. I highly recommend this program for those who do not yet have a firewall, as it is working very well. - Amazing

Hi Jan: I forgot. I will try to remember tomorrow. - Amazing

Yes, attacks seem to happen in waves. I guess someone discovers a page telling them how to do it or a new program becomes available for all the copy-cat would-be hackers to try.

A firewall & virus scanner are essential.

Also, there are many spyware / ad systems that send details from your PC to 3rd parties. It's surprising how many programs actually install these!

I have a little program that checks for spyware / ad systems which is no longer available as freeware. But it found nearly 800 of them on my system when I got it .....!!1

If you want it let me know and I will send it .... it isn't that big
