I'm being attacked!!!

[dbarton]

I just installed Zone Alarm. I have XP firewall up already.

I see that about *every 1 second* so I get another alert saying someone wants access to my machine. Isn't this a bit much?

Since friday, I've gotten 600 HIGH rated intrusions blocked..

These are probably pings generated by your ISP.

Thanksgiving is close, buy yourself a Router.

ISP might ping constantly to keep connections alive/active... (some do this, for reasons I have no clue)

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Definitely keep an eye on things, but I would be more worried if I stopped seeing alerts. And we can give you something more interesting to watch if you want. 66.125.152...
