Your right groovicus, in some way's I do. But in the manner Zone Alarm does? No. The reason I said that was because I assumed like you said: it's probably just noise. But if it could possibly be a trojan, a virus, worm, etc then definitely take the required step's to fix thing's (scan for infections, remove, etc).Quote:

Racudis, disable alerts for incoming stuff, just check the logs from time to time. Most of what you are seeing is normal noise.
As far as the outgoing stuff, that needs to be investigated. What, specifically, is trying to connect to the internet? Often times malware will try to connect, sometimes it is also legitimate....you may need to run
* Adaware
* Spybot
to clean some of it up.
Also, try one of these:
*PandaSoft
*TrendMicro
