Hi everyone,
Just need some help to understand my firewall results. I have to say that I have been using zonealarm, the free version and had turned the alerts off and not really looked at the log of what was going on, until yesterday.
There were lots of echo requests and requests to connect to various ports. So I installed another firewall, Kerio personal firewall. This is picking up the same as zonealarm. My concern is I am getting echo requests, not just from my isp which is BT, I also get them from aol and ntl and im averaging 2 echo requests or requests to connect to ports every 3 seconds! To me this seems more than just internet noise!!
Please can someone give me some advice about what exactly my firewalls are picking up?
Thanks,
Chris
