Wow, I've been attacked 16 times in half as many minutes
16 trojan and backdoor attacks.

I wish firewall software would, if an attack was detected, send a 500,000,000,000,000,000 volt shock to the idiot doing the attacking. That would solve the problem of internet crime for good.

6. Have had Norton Internet Security running for months now
I occasionally get hit, but as Lister would say, today takes the smeg!

I've just been attacked another 8 times since I made the original post. No, I am not exaggerating!

Make that 995,932,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 volts. This is getting ridiculous...

Ain't no way I'm ever disabling the firewall, that's for sure!

9. I used to keep the notifications on alert, but I get hit so many times
an hour by sniffers and probes that I just have it run in the background.

4. I get quite a few REAL attacks visiting sites posted here
Some of the attacks are simply a cookie but many are REAL attacks. All I can say is thank goodness for firewalls.
