[QUOTE="Zorro, post: 969466, member: 80312"] That is, someone is trying to connect to you from the outside? Are you being attacked by hackers? In what mode does your firewall work - automatic or interactive? I don’t think that hackers will purposefully attack some ordinary home user. Typically, the targets of professional hackers are at least small and medium businesses. The maximum that threatens an ordinary home user is the attacks of "script-kiddies", or, as they call them, "mother's hackers":LOL:. Eset's firewall will completely protect you from such a threat, if any of them detects your computer at all. In addition, your ISP probably cuts off most of the attacks on its equipment even before the traffic reaches you. :cool: By the way, I got an idea. It would be nice, given the great configurability of the Eset firewall, for Andy Ful to separately lay out the complete list of rules that are written for the Windows firewall in the Firewall Hardening program, so that they can be written into the Eset firewall. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
