    Thanks guys (and Liz). I'm ok now, just one of those mid-life scares. Gotta do some lifestyle changes, ugh. Getting old is not for wimps. Sorry to hear Il is still mia. He was one of my favorite posters back at the TTV boards. It's good to be back here tghough.

    edit: Hey JDoors, I'm still broke. There's something wrong with this picture.

    I've missed you all. I got a new job at the new year, 10 to 12 hours a day sometimes 7 days a week. My comp died, and a week in the hospital, I just haven't been able to keep up, and I've just missed you all.

    Anybody caught up with Il-wiccan?

    By saying you know who & where I assume you're looking at a Firewall log. The firewall is stopping the attempts so you don't need to worry about it. Especially since you've scanned your system and cleaned it (presumably).

    That computer in China may be infected, or it may be a spammer, or it may be some moron trying to get in. Whatever the reason, your firewall's stopping it. In my experience it will stop soon (probably when the kid's parent finds out what they've been up to, or when they realize they've never received a response from your system due to your firewall blocking them -- they'll just change the addresses they're probing and it'll be someone else's problem).

    That's my thoughts too. Every once in a while some idiot starts pinging me repeatedly. It's annoying, but Sygate is blocking them so it's nothing more than an annoyance.

    Download.com is heavily used which could account for slow downloads. Why would you download an anti-virus program through them?

    They have been known to have overloaded servers and I don't know if it's still true, but they used to be known for attaching malware to thier programs. Just go to the originators site.
