Hey Todd,Again you are on the ball. I too have Ad-Aware and swear by it.I ran it again after your last post and no spyware was found.This recent intrusion is incoming, not outgoing per ZoneAlarm Pro.This person or entity has attempted to access my PC six times now since I started this thread. I have just told our roomate to never shutdown the firewall under any circumstances....../George

George, it's possible that what you're detecting as an intrusion is actually what's called SpyWare . That's a type of program that is secretly installed on your computer and monitors where you surf, and reports the activity to some advertising company (or something like that).I highly recommend that you (and anyone else reading this) get a copy of a program called AdAware, which detects and deletes SpyWare, just like Norton AntiVirus detects and deletes viruses.

Todd,Good call. That is the firewall app that I am using now.I had installed it before but had to remove it because of clashes with my network. The network has been disconnected now for a few weeks so I decided to re-install it this morning.I should have known the casinos would come gunning for me after the release of the Reika Roulette System. Let's just hope they didn't get to my sourcecode....../George
