Security - September 2006

I want to determine if there is unauthorized activity on my computer.. Can you explain to me how to read the firewall log? I have several things on this printout: "drop tcp" "receive" along with several different IP ADDRESSES!! How do I determine where these IP ADDRESSES are from? can I trace them? What does "OPEN UDP" mean?

Any help in this matter would be appreciated~! thanks!

My mom is going through a rough time. She got back with her ex but then things didn't work out yet AGAIN and now he got into her email account and changed her password on her. She has very very important emails that she needs to get to. Is there anyway to fix this? I have contacted Yahoo but I was wondering if anyone out there could help me. It's so fustrating. I was the one who set up her acct over a year ago and she was saving emails from him, from her lawyer etc. Any ideas? T.I.A.

I tried for over an hour to renew my antivirus with no success. I kept clicking next or renew or buy now and all I got was a merry-go-round to where I began. I clicked on "buy now" and was told my shopping cart was empty. Something was empty besides my shopping cart. I clicked on for customer service, sent my problem to their email address just to receive a response to go to customer service where I had just come from. I'm at my wits ends and my last nerve has just been twisted. Does Symantic care about it's customers or can someone suggest what I might try next?

For example, will sensitive data stay on hard drive, in OS or program memory, and be retrievable in future by third party?

There is one pernicious ad that keeps popping up when my young children are on the Internet. I have tried blocking this site through Internet options, and eliminating it through adware and spyware sweeps. Even though I've blocked the site through Internet options by the address, it keeps getting through. It is just this one ad.

I'd like to start using encryption, for a number of reasons (you can all guess what they are), but have been told it's difficult and also acts as a "Red Flag" to the gov't...they basically think you MUST have something to hide if you're encrypting. What if you just don't want someone accessing your Great American Novel?

Any thoughts, recommendations, warnings?

i am connecting to my FTP server using SSL. First of all the only way i can get it to connect at all is to set up an implicit encryption on port 990 (explicit wont work). then when i connect, it shows me my cirtificate (issuer and subject are correct) but it tells me that it is "unable to get local issuer certificate" and "the error occured at a depth of 1 in the certificate chain". Can anyone shed some light on this? thanks.
