Answer 1

They are not Hackers
Zone alarm is sensative to any byte coming, and online you will get thousands of stray bytes, so mostly it is not a Hackers attack
Do not panic internet is mush safer than we think, But be careful

Good luck

Answer 2

I doubt there really are 17772 people outside your house, all schemeing to make your life difficult when you turn on your computer. ZoneAlarm is good, but its' report may be exaggerating the threat. Possibly you have spyware that i trying to dial out, instead of there being bad people trying to dial in. I advise a good spyware scan of your PC, and the threat number should be going down.

SPYWARE TERMINATOR (free)

Install, update, and scan for spyware threats with this great suite, I have used it, and I have put it onto my friends' computer, and it works GREAT.

By the way, if you were not using your ZoneAlarm firewall, as a replacement to the Windows firewall, your PC may have become so badly infected by now that it would not work any more. Well done!

Answer 3

It's mostly just blocking viruses. True active system hacks are rare, especially on home systems. I get that many dropped connections in a day. I probably see what might be a manual attempt at hacking my firewalled connection once a week or so.

Zone Alarm does a fine job of protecting your system. Just don't let the number of reported "hacks" bother you. It's normal. And proof positive that you NEED a firewall of some sort!

Answer 4

dude dont use zone alarm use comodo i was wondering are u using a trial version and are most attacks on port 139
because zone alarm gives a lot of false positives i mean
when i had it 3 ip addresses one from akamai (legitamate
web cache company) and another from yahoo and another
my dns tried to get into port 139 why the hell would my dns
wanna access my netbios port , i think they are lying to get u to buy it because in comodo i never saw an intrusion on port
139. also if u put a bank card in ur vault almost every website i go on zone alarm asks me if i want to give it away
also are u behind a nat router or directly to a cable modem
because if u are connected to a cable modem directly you
will see a lot of activity maybe like a 100 intrusions a minute,
get a linksys router.
