There was a recent attempt to attack my computer, but was caught by Norton Firewall. The information I got back from Visual Tracking, looks as though it may be from my service provider? Could it be that my ISP was trying to compromise my machine? Or is that just the address I would get, on a a WHOIS, of someone within my area who might have attacked my computer? |

Which port were they trying to get in on? My work firewall constantly records my IPSs DNS servers trying to get access to mine, but this is normal.

if you get a lot of trojan attacks of the same type. turn off the alerts for that type of trojan "attack". they are almost certainly false alarms, and turning off the alerts will not compromise your security. |
