    Zone alarm pro, download the cracked version off kazaa. Install it. When it loads up, use your internet programs as normal.

    Each time u use a new program (like IE, Outlook, kazaa etc) the firewall will ask if you want to allow it.

    Click Yes and check the little 'remember this setting' box. The firewall will now remember which programs are allowed

    Hey presto!

    I just installed Zone Alarm version 3.7.143 last night.

    Since then I've had 120 blocked intrusions, 66 of which have been high rated.

    So like, is there any way of telling who, or what has tried to connect to my machine, how can you tell if it has been a genunine attempt by some hacker?

    We all know what you're hiding Van the Man......
    The reason you're getting so many erm...., ahem, intrusions, is that your PCs' riddled with spyware when you've installed DivX Pro, Kazaa and the like. I know you've run Ad-aware but they're a shite to get rid of.
    Just face it man, Big Bro is watching.... mwah haa haa haaaaa!!

    Well, I've just cleared everything down, Ad-Aware cleared 101 nasties. No virus etc. were found.

    Don't go for the hacked version off kazaar - thats the easiest way. Download the full version from the Zone Alarm website then just get a serial number for it.
