my laptop (on my home network) had a stop error at startup and after restarting, windows defender couldnt start. is there somthing wrong? im already scanning my computer for viruses and Zonealarm is on high. my internet is kind of slow, so maybe someones trying to access my network through my wireless router?

i did an I.P. ID search on arin.net and it came up as:
OrgName: Earthlink [my provider]
why would it block my Provider? my internet still works...

Zone Alarm, is just doing the job that a true firewall is suppose to do, block rogue packets from gaining access to your pc. When you see the next zone alarm pop up, place a check mark where it says "remember". And Zone Alarm, will not show you what has been blocked.
Everything is fine with your firewall and pc. No one is trying to hack you.

You can't run two different Fire Walls at the same time. Blocking access does not necessarily mean someone is trying to access your computer. If it does that while you are browsing the web, your security settings might be to high and restrictive.
As far as wireless routers, did you set it up to prevent someone from being on your wireless system. Wireless routers do not set them self up as far as security goes. Check your network settings.

use a firewall. In linux is more fun. You can choose in firewall combined with iptables to block users from mac adress. A mac adress is an adress like a fingertip of a nic. You can change it but it will not work for ever. So use a firewall and there set the blocked ip. But if the users chance his ip what do you do? So the best way is to block from ip and mac. So if he changes his ip and the mac don;t match the ip he just stays blocked. If he changes his mac as well and you don't have it stored he is blocked as well. What can he do... scan tha lan for mac adresses and use one of it... That depends on how smart is the user. You can do that in windows..but i don;t guarantee the same result like in linux. google ;)

I doubt it. sometimes P2P programs cause that alert on me. The point is the IP query was blocked. I'd just turn the alerts off and take my mind off it unless something gets through.

If you have encryption on your wireless you are safe. If not I would panic and set it now, before it is too late.
