As long as your firewall is stopping them theres nothing to worry about Shaz,these things happen from time to time. :doggie:

I think it's probably one of these worms doing the rounds, trying to get through your firewall Shaz.

If the firewall is blocking them and the warnings are only appearing every two minutes, I wouldn't worry about it - even though it is annoying >:(

I'm getting 31 every 2 minutes, :o

I only know that cos my warning log only holds 31. I don't have it warn me anymore lol

Mainly different ones tho.  >:(
