I don't think I have. I'm not that computer savvy. I just have a desk top. I don't run a website. Once I did remote service by Microsoft

 

But the Norton does appear to be blocking and keeping me safe

Shane, Not sure about those items you mentioned.

23

anyone know what "P2P client like BitComent, EMule " are?

24

"P2P" is a Peer (person)  to Peer (person) file sharing program.

 

It allows users of the program to share and download files, primarily music and videos from each other's computers through a P2P network across the internet.

 

See this link for more details.

thanks Phil. I’ve not done any file sharing, IMing, or anything like that. I think once I had microsoft remote tech support

I’m thinking that these constant attempts by the IP Addresses to connect to my computer are coming from infected computers and not malaice on the computer’s owners part. Most of these come from China. Anyone know how to contct that IP service to alert them of the attacks? I assume they are attacks because I’m not soliciting connection from them.

As long as your Norton Product Blocks these, you are fine.

 

These are Attacks, whereby, Hackers are trying to connect to your computer through Ports which you are not using to, obviously, place some Internet Threat on your computer.

I’ve seen a number of users try to contact ISPs to let them know about attacking systems and have never seen anyone have good success. The ISPs generally don’t seem to care whether their users are infected or not and don’t want to give away their customers’ information for confidentiality reasons.

I don’t know these adresses but it could be lot’s of things from a zombie to a application which you have installed. If you have a firewall installed than you are safe. Especially when you have NAV as well. If it would reach any port that might be open NAV will block it as well
