Got the same and so did my sister.

BTW...My ZoneAlarm is going crazy tonight with a ping about every 8 seconds, all from random sources. Anybody else noticing this? (maybe I need to lay off the "patriot act" threads... ) ;)

Do you know if ZoneAlarm gives a kind of loud beep if it detects an intrusion attempt? I'm running three firewalls, so I can never tell which one is giving off an alert.

As for tonight, no haven't noticed anything unusual other than a false alarm when I was using FTP.

My ZoneAlarm is going crazy tonight

Same here in Florida, but after three years on DSL, it's become fairly routine -- it looks like quite a few of the computers hooked to my ISP are infected with a worm. I ordered a replacement DSL modem last week, and my UPS delivery man told me he's been delivering about a 20 a day in my area alone. I wonder how many of those new subscribers are without a firewall, and don't even realize they're infected?

Running Zone Alarm Pro and Norton Antivirus on an XP machine. So far so good, no viruses *knock on wood* but getting pinged pretty close to the rate you stated.

Big Brother is watching you...

This might explain the excessive pings you are seeing.
