Hi bugspop1:
That IS an extra ordinary amount?! Does there seem to be any pattern to where they are coming from?

Working on about 4,300 now! Printed out hit logs but no pattern I can see!
Just ran two virus scans before posting the first time, nothing. Sent the pages to Comcast.

Most hits I had in a short time was about 500-600. Perhaps a trojan worm outbreak hitting the net. If your system is not compromised, than you know ZA is doing it's job. Feels good to know doesn't it

Does Zone Alarm work with a network? The last time I used it, I couldn't get online? I don't have a firewall now, and you getting hit that many times makes me wonder if I need one??

Hope you don't mind me posting a question here?
Thanks!

PattiG,

ZA works with/on a network. If you can't get online, maybe the internet lock was engaged (?) or accidently IE ws not allowed to connect (?) or such.

Anyway - You should use a FW !

Thanks again K G G, that's probably what it was, I will give it another try. That was right after I got my network going and I was a basketcase at that time, and didn't really try ZA for long!!

I'll let you know how it goes K G G!!

Hey bugspop1:
You don't have some file sharing program running in the background by chance?
