    1. Does anyone use ZoneAlarm or a program like it?

    2. Have you been getting a much higher amount of activity lately in your log files?

    3. Is this related to the CODE RED 2 virus?

    Yes, yes and maybe. I'm not sure about Code Red, but I've certainly been getting alot more attempted connections to my http port over the last few days. I also seem to be getting alot more ICMP unreachables too, although I don't know if this is related.

    AT+T/Roadrunner disabled the port 80 function on all thier users so they can no longer infect or be infected by code red. My alarm count dropped to 0 pretty much instantly, at first I was worried I was infected until I read up on thier site what they had done.

    Also annoyed a lot of people who were illegally hosting a web server. smile.gif
