Hello All, 'nother Newbie here.
Using ZoneAlarm freebee, IE, OE, Yahoo and Hotmail on substantial Me system and DSL.
Just found net-Tools and easily identified the intruder. The intruder appears to be my service provider Verizon.net (GTE.net).
They use various addresses but all start out as 4.6*.*.* and various ports. They have hit on about every port on my machine.
The report shown by Net-Tools whosis shows: "SmartWhois tamqfl*-ar7-4-6*-056-248.vz.dsl.gtei.net (4.6*.56.248)"
Also shown is the e-mail address of a person which appears to be the same one each time.
I installed ZA yesterday and already have 50+ hits. I am recieveing mail and newsgroup entries just fine on all accounts and even the transfers to OE are working great.
Tell me: Do I contact the e-mail address? Does any part of the "SmartWhois tamqfl*-ar7-4-6*-056-248.vz.dsl.gtei.net (4.6*.56.248)" indicate a web page?
Not new to computing at all but this Sneaky Pete thing is a bit different for me.
Thank you for listening and will be very appreciative of any advice/guidance.
Thanx
Clunk
