In the past few months I have had several attempts on my PC from outside locations. It is always from the following GPS location, 37.4192 N 122.0574 W
If you google this it is a place in Southern CA.
Any info would be nice.

Egads, that’s your first mistake!
Not any more. They moved it several years ago.
That's your problem. Your PC is infected with McAfee. I had that problem once. McAfee is a son-of-a-gun to get rid of. It took me several months.
There were at one time four major interconnect points for the internet and one was housed in a windowless building at Moffett Field. All internet traffic went through those hubs. If I was going to install an internet monitor I would connect it there.
I call BS on your software being able to identify the GPS of the actual device that is supposedly hacking your computer. It is the GPS of something but who knows what.
I would put the location in Google Maps and see what is there.
Have you tried changing your external IP to see if it stops? You may want to firewall everything on your box and see what pops notifications if anything, asking for permission to access the web.
Oh, I see.
The problem is your computer is infected with CaFe.
Get a real tool like F-Proto.
Yeah, McAfee claims to stop viruses. I say McAfee IS a virus that is very hard to kill.
Having a user name with the word pirate in it is probably not helping your cause any :>
It’s your screen name. They think you might be some type of Gordon Gecko.
It may be that someone’s computer at those coordinates has been compromised by a hacker and is being used as a zombie machine. The attack could be coming from anywhere.
...maybe better watch what I post

Probably too late....
Oh Noooo's ..... the kindergartners have gotten to the computers again :-)
Seriously, here's what you need to do:
Go to either the microwave or the refrigerator (whichever is closest), and open door of appliance
In a clear voice, speak into the appliance and say what a wonderful job the government minders NSA are doing.
Compliment them on their hard work.
Suggest they deserve a raise.
Thank them for keeping us safe.
It also probably wouldn't hurt to throw in some praise for the current Administration. Say some things like:
"This President is real good."
"Obamacare is a good thing."
"They take good care of us,
and we're real happy."
"Aren't we real happy?"- Ask your family members.
Have family gather round the appliance and say:
"Yes, we are real happy, and government is good for us,
real good for us."
(For further reference on this -Please refer to an episode of the old Twilight Zone series called "It's a Good Life". Just imagine the federal government playing the part of the tyrannical 6 yr. old with magical powers, who can banish to the cornfield, anyone who disagrees with him. )
When finished praising the NSA and government, close the door to the appliance and carry on with your day.
Remember to think only good thoughts about government, and smile.
You can repeat this ritual at least weekly, or more often if you feel you've committed a thought crime.
Don’t recall.
But Bernie Ashergee is one hell of an engineer.
There are servers whose geodetic coordinates are on record, so the software would only have to know the server of origin to give the coordinates.
The Feds keep a router in that warehouse that is used by the agents in the area. The NSA, FBI, IRS, DHS, DOJ, ATF just need to look through your files to make sure that you are not in violation of any laws... or rather, to discern which laws you are violating...
