Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

....sorry, its not funny........
man, i havent had attacks like that
the only time i've been attacked was port scans,
which werent really attacks, cause it was a sygate security scan...

what apps have you allowed net access?

I believe svchost.exe is something to do with Sygate, as I have it enabled, and it only asked me this when I first installed it. Also, to prevent your firewall to keep producing pop-ups telling you about 'Attacks', you'll need to visit Options > General & make sure you tick the box regarding notification.

Already done it ,but is still flashing evry 3 sec's the damn thing.



And this are the apllications:

i think svchost.exe is MS generic host process for win32 services

[Samurai]

Flashing is normal. Just means that your firewall is operating normally. Some people have their download / upload meters flashing different colours according to what their PC is doing, i.e red for d/l green for u/l. Don't worry it's all good!

I repeat , i don't download/ upload anything , just browsing this forum and the icon is flashing red all the time.

[ObiWan]

I think all the sytem32\*.exe as they are all system files (i think)

[fkdup74]

damn it SH you used uploadit to post, huh?
think i still got it blocked in my ip list
cant see the screenshots

and svchost is a windows process, not sygate
with many different services running under it if i remember right

and a flashing tray icon means attack,
or what sygate considers an attack antway

If i don't get a reply for this problems / attacks/ flashing icon in red all the time i think i will get back the old Norton.
