The icon was flashing so I decided to click on it...

I read the stats it shows me:

Last attacked - 30/12/02 15:42
Recent Intrusion Attempts - 4
Recent Attempted Attackers - 1
Most Frequent Attacker - 80.230.205.199

I'm with NTL so my internet is always on, that being the reason I ~bought~ the firewall...

I know the 4 intrusion attempts are fine but the attempted attack doesn't seem to good to me?

Something to do with a trojan virus, no viruses on the PC though...

I know what a trojan is and all that, I'm just not too sure that I should have somebody attacking my PC...

Saying that, I read somewhere on NTL that it may be them just verifying PC connections and firewalls do give problems like this. I'll go and have a look now...

I think you need to goto 'Start' and 'Run', and type msconfig.

Then select the startup tab.
