how do I block an IP address that keeps hitting my computer.?

Answer 1

Use ZoneAlarm Free Version if it is Windows System. Use IPFilter if U are using Linux based systems.

Answer 2

If you don't have a good antivirus protection program, purchase Norton Antivirus by Symantic right away. It will catch IP addresses that hit on your computer and will block them from future access. Some people like McAfee, but I know of a utility that used it and it did not prevent them from getting a virus. They switched to Norton Antivirus and haven't had any problems since then.

Answer 3

Depending on how safe you surf, you may not need an active monitoring app,
such as TeaTimer, which is in Spybot S&D.

By installing the hosts file, IE-SPYADs, SiteAdvisor and WinPatrol,
you will have a pretty good line of defense which won't use up any resources.

And of course a firewall is a must,
tho the XP SP 2 firewall is not sufficient in my opinion.
It only blocks incoming attacks, and should something get thru and that's always possible,
then it can call out to get more things installed or use your machine as a zombie
I'd recommend Zone Alarm, but one of the older versions from here:

Either of the 4.5 versions seem to work best, less buggy than current ones


i have all the installers saved on disc if you would like them e mail me

Answer 4

Enable your firewall. If your firewall is enabled, just forget about it.
