Hi all!
I've got Norton Internet Security and have noticed that the number of access attempts blocked by the Firewall has gone bananas over the last few weeks.
In the last two days there have been over 3,500 attempts!!!!
Now, the Firewall is obviously stopping these attacks/attempts so I'm not too bothered. But I'm assuming that each attempt slows down my dial-up (yes! I know!!!!) connection a tiny bit?????
They all seem to be "Web Sharing" attacks with a few hundred all coming from the same IP address within a ten minute period.
Anything I can do????
Thanks
Chops
