    I'm running McAfee (I know, no sarcastic comments please) and dont realy take a look at the firewall activity that much, presume its doing its job right!

    Anyway on Sat night noted a large amount (100's) of "Trojam Kazaime" attacks on my 7000 port (which is my Bittorrent port) luckly its being blocked. The only thing is it seems to be comming from multiple IPs all over the globe. I'm on NTL and can seem to find any help on the Mcafee or Hackerwatch site !

    Anyone had similar attack over the weekend? other than changing the Bittorent port what else can I do?

    Odds are if ur runnin Xp sp2 your safe enough.


    As for macfag bin it and save yourself some cash :D (couldnt resist).

    keep your av and antispyware packages up to date and bittorrent.

    You know the normal everyday computer type stuff.

    Oh and get used to lots of crap hittin your firewall.

    Its what i all everyday traffic since about 1992 :-)

    How many times have I told you not to use McAfee? ;)


    As for your alert logs, the fact that they're in the log means they've been blocked. It proberly mentions the trojan because it's a known port for the trojan...

    Try Sygate, Zone Alarm or similiar for your firewall :)

    Doesn't sound like there's anything wrong though.
