transmitting ISP Address
When I exited a Yahoo site, I was greeted by a Message saying
"Your PC is now broadcasting your ISP Address over the internet". There were two blue header bars at the top, my regular one, and a second below it saying "Security Alert". Could this have been a fake box, or could my PC actually have been doing this? I have Norton AV and Firewall.

Thanks Zaney and Catch!
I don't think it was the normal IE page. It shook me too much to think about leaving it on screen too long. The URL is http://www.geocities.com/goldiethoma...titlepage.html It's the site where a 58 corvette is that I started to buy. Zaney, can I download ZoneAlarm with Norton on my PC? How will my PC know which firewall to use? Do I disable Norton firewall? Thanks agin Fellows |

I get that too - and I have Zone Alarm in full stealth mode. It's an ad popup trying to get you to download their spyware-ridden software. Ignore it. Norton Firewall is plenty good enough to protect you. Of course your PC is broadcasting your IP address over the Internet - if it didn't, you wouldn't be able to browse the Web!

Thanks for the reply Guys!
I didn't realize the IP address was put out there like that. Thinking about it though.....how could I get any info back, if no one knew my address. Thanks, This is a Great Learning Experience! |
