Howdy.
I used to use AVG as my laptops security, and it came with a firewall, AV, etc. Recently I ditched it for Comodo CIS which is totally free and has pretty much the same things I need, minus the crap I don't need like email monitoring.
Anyway, I noticed I had some incoming connections, and they were from other peoples PC's. Weird. I don't have any trojans/viruses on my laptop because I'm careful with what I download and use, plus I've scanned with Comodo, Spybot S&D and Ad-aware SE. I also did a hijackthis log, and pasted onto a site that analyses it, nothing suspicious. I noticed them after I install some software, but which one I'm unsure... there was ares, a file splitter and a mass file renamer.
Anywho, CIS is now blocking those *******s and everything else I don't want to allow in. But the amount of intrusions is getting annoying.
I just so happened to catch it at 1337 btw, it's a coincidence.
Well, they could be port scanning or just pinging, but I doubt it. It says "Windows Operating System" and "explorer.exe", but from what I've read it's just classing it as the actual machine, not a specific process. There are the IP's and ports. They seem to be ISP IP's for normal web users...
Is there anyway I can reverse the connection and do something (there was something I read about before...), and is there anything I can do to get rid of the buggers?
They're not attacking my router 'cos my dads PC is fine, it received only 2 but I think they were false positives... it's either my machine or the IP they're attacking (the IP is dynamic).
Sinse this post it has gone up to 1384...
Cheers.
