Post by: Shaz on August 28, 2003, 12:45

Hi guys, Im being inundated with pings on my firewall. Most of them have 'modem dialup.pol.co.uk on the end, has anyone any idea why this is happening.Ive done an adaware scan etc cant find anything wrong,but its only been happening the last few days since I came back from my hols. :)

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 >:(
