Defender Pro Anti Virus/Firewall 5.0.39
Is this what your running ? I heard good & bad things about this program - therefore I would not trust it.
Try a better firewall - On a leak test this free one came out best:

Somebody is trying to hack into your computer through your firewall. They are either scanning it for open ports, pinging it, or simply trying a brute force attack through your network.
If you are running wireless, be sure your wireless router has a password and one that is not the default factory username and password such as what linksys routers use. It is possible that somebody discovered your wireless network (If you are running one without a password) and is enjoying leeching it while trying to hack you in the process.
It is also possible you have a virus on your machine that is trying to "phone home" and your firewall is protecting it from doing so.
There are a whole host of other possible problems, but I would recommend you take your machine offline for a while and run a virus scan on your computer.

whilst McAfee stated that a particular virus replaced into quarantined, it means that the virus has been moved out of your working gadget to a folder the place it may no longer do any harm on your laptop. And in case you elect for, you've the alternative of restoring the virus back to the working gadget if the virus has been found out to be incorrectly pointed out as risky.

Hai, virus means headache every where even if its with computers. Now its better that u dont wait to be faced with more problems in ur system, so just unninstall ur operating system and upgrade a new operating system, if u do it earlier u can be free more problems and also remeber that all ur files in computer r going to be lost once u install a new os, after this just dont open any suscpicious sites in future to be away from such problems.
all the best for u in removing ur viruse

Do you have a virus program installed?
If not, make sure to install one. A good free one is available from Avast.com ( http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html ).
Are you at an office or is your computer on a (wireless or wired) LAN with other computers?
If so, one of those computers may be infected with a virus. Ask the owners of all those computers to run a virus check.
Good luck.

I assume you DO HAVE an antivirus scanner running on this PC ? If not pop along to www.avast.com and get a GOOD and FREE one.
The firewall is simply telling you it's doing it's job.
Also check for spyware/malware on system
I'd reccomend these 2, run each in turn
ADAWARE fro www.lavasoftusa.com (Free personal version)
also SPYBOT S&D from www.spybot.org (Again free for home use)
Also worth having in toolbox is CCLEANER from www.ccleaner.com again a free download, and a good general windows tidyup utility.
