Re: Now firewalled but bombarded.

Just write down what it says. At the rate you are describing getting them it is probably something you've blocked that shouldn't be.

IF it was say a script kiddie scanning ports looking for open ports that are the standard defaults for the particular trojan he just downloaded (because he's too n00b to own his own vics) he will get detected by your ISP in less than an hour. If you already had such a trojan on your computer more than likely it's gonna be using outbound requests to avoid such persecution, in which case the firewall message wouldn't read remote requests.

but just right down what it says. you should be able to tell very quickly from that info.

and yes you shouldn't blindly add any warning through your firewall. and yes you should be familiar with the program permission/rights in the program list because thats what this is all about.
