Checking the "blocks" today by McAfee on my computer...

[kentuck]

181 blocks total....about 10 of those were DoD out of Columbus OH -- Does that mean anything??

1. I have had a lot of DoD blocks

for a very long time. I would assume this is part of their data mining. Keywords democrats/peace/activists would bring me up.

MFers.

2. For a non-tech savvy person, how do you check McAfee for that?

[kentuck]

3. Just click on your McAfee icon

and view the "firewall Summary"...and then check "Inbound Events" and it gives you all the IP addresses that have tried to enter in a port on your computer....

Best as i can summarize...
