935 of those were high rated. This is within the last 3-4 weeks. Are these all hacking attempts done by script kiddies or something?

1) it doesn't matter what kind of connection you're on
2) it doesn't matter if it's a script kiddie or someone who knows what they're doing
if a hacker wants to get through, they'll get through - just take an extra 5 minutes.
Just make sure it's running fairly stable. If you're unsure, get a better firewall.

My experience is quite the opposite. So is Steve Gibson's. Do you have problems following the instructions? :Q
Attempts to access what? OH, wait, you don't know, for all you know it's logging webpages you visit.
ZA is nowhere near the AOL of software. At least it works.
Personally, I like the previous freeware version 2.6.362 better than the new one so I stayed with it. The reports are easier to access and use. When I was using the new one, I turned off those silly text panels, and I think they got too cutesy with the way they scrolled open and closed.

I don't run ZA, but I do have a Hardware-based firewall from 2Wire that does a decent job.
My biggest threat is I started running Kazaa-lite and opened a port for it to run on as a server.

I was asking what it could be in my original post jagoff.
Steve Gibson Sucks.
Ask anyone who KNOWS security. That guy is full of shit.
I don't see what's wrong with ZoneAlarm though.

Oh, so I should have told you sooner? Mm.
What do your ZoneAlarm logs actually tell you? Or are you just a script kiddie with no idea what you're doing?

Maybe you should have posted this in the CORRECT FORUM, smart guy.

It matters. Broadband users are targeted more frequently for obvious reasons.
in addition to that many programs with 'firewall' in their name are not exactly firewalls
btw, on another forum someone was complaining that his "firewall" had alerted him about outgoing traffic from his computer to a webserver
better -- get a real firewall (by real I do not necessarily mean hardware firewall) and have it properly set as in most cases the default settings are useless, either too many false allerts or not detecting real problems
go to The Register, search for Steve Gibson and enjoy the readings
The problem with looking at that data is that it doesn't serve much purpose. If ZA blocked it, then it was blocked, so it doesn't matter all that much if you know about it. If ZA didn't block it, then you won't hear about it, so you're already screwed.
You guys bash ZoneAlarm but fail to suggest a "real" firewall. Until someone suggests something better, I'll keep ZA.
