    Hi guys sorry to bring up a thorny subject again about diallers, but i was just looking at my firewall logs today and im getting a lot of these sorts of intrusions


    virginisland-164.oceanfree.net
    barbados-135.oceanfree.net

    Now the firewall has detected these intrusions and blocked them, so are these dialler attempts and if the firewall has detected and blocked them am i alright

    Bit worried to be honest

    Are these incoming or outgoing requests?

    Also, look at your dial-up connections and see if anything strange is in there.

    With zone alarm pro firewall, regular adaware pro scans and the odd sp bot scan I thought I was clear of all that stuff, I run a pop up killer and addwatch at startup along with a firewall and virus checker. So to cut to the point , there is a free copy of this PANDA software with some PC mag on the shelf now in shops sorry I cant remember the name. anyway #i gave it a go last week, I has all the above integrated into it along with a spam catcher, I updated it and ran a scan , and fair play to it it picked up two dialers (thats all it got) I then uninstalled it cos it was giving me some stick and did not like my CA virus scanner but it did pick up two dialers that were missed byt the following

    out server h/d firewall
    zone alarmpro
    Adaware pro
    spybot 13
    Addwathc
    Secure clean pro

    Stupid question, but do you go online via oceanfree? These could smiply be server names - they have to call them something.

    I know when I worked in DIT we called everything kirk, spock etc.

    They could just be naming the servers after islands.
