something awful

[philtro]

It seems ok in that regard, I really can't tell if I there's anything overt going on. Kaspersky gets a warning periodically saying "network attack Intrusion.Win.MSSQL.worm.Helkern", but then says it might be a false proxy or something or other like that. It only shows up as 'detected' and doesn't prompt for any kind of action.

I work swing shifts and unfortunately have to go to work now, I get off at nine mountain but i'll be here as soon as i get home...

Thought you were going to do away with Kaspersky because of it's cost since this was a free trial? At least that is what you said in Post#20.

Now here is the information concerning your alert and use of Zone Alarm too from Kaspersky as stated in the Kaspersky Forum

It's probably a bot attack - just hitting all IP's within a certain range on port 1434 (Slammer worm). The log is saying that it's blocked basically so there is nothing you can do. Check again to make sure you are stealth from ZA free and that's about it. When using a 3rd party firewall like ZA you should disable the IDS (network protection) of KAV....correct way to disable ids...

1) Click 'Settings'tab
2) Click 'Configure Real-Time Protection'
3) Click 'Network' tab
4) Un Check 'Enable real-time protection against network attacks'
