2 Days ago i was on the computer and Mcafee Personal Firewall Plus came on saying it blocked an intrusion attempt. I clicked to trace the ip address and it said it was some guy in Amsterdam and gave a name. Later, it popped up again, and this time it traced to Mountain View California and said it was from Google! Why would Google be trying to hack me? Later it did it again but i accidently clicked ok, so i did not get to trace it. Yesterday, i was working, some guy made another attempt. It was somewhere in Asia, i cant remember. Later, it came again and said that it was some Puerto Rico cable service's abuse department. Later still, it came on and said it was Comcast cable. This is strange because before the above incidents, i had never had a hacking attempt before, and suddenly there is a whole bunch. What should i do. Im worried about why people from a company's Abuse department would attempt to hack me, and why Google and Comcast would. Pls give some advice.

Im not worried about people trying to hack me. My firewall will get them. Im worried about WHY companies are hacking me and why there were suddenly so many attempts.

I have nooooo idea but there are certain things you can change inside your computer if it was just the same person. Besides, an intrusion attempt doesn't necessarily mean they're trying to hack your computer. Maybe it's just spyware trying to access your computer. Get a spyware blocker, and a good firewall.

in case you save on getting logged out than definite you're maximum possibly being hacked whilst yet another persons signs and warning signs into your facebook on a yet another computing gadget it kicks the different region out i might propose changing your password
