Innocent_lady,
Ma'am, your concerns regarding IP addresses in both this forum and others borders on paranoia.
You have Zonealarm install, I assume you have a anti virus app installed, That being so you have a far greater risk of falling pregnant this year than by being hacked deliberately because of your personality or ID within the next 3 years. Please, relax, enjoy the medium, you are only making yourself unhappy by listening to bad information regarding IP addresses.
I agree with Rustedtight. With a decent antivirus application and ZoneAlarm installed, you should be fine. Don't assume that because ZoneAlarm detects IPs trying to reach your computer that they are the cause of your computer problems. ZoneAlarm often has the effect of making people more paranoid that before, only because you can see all this network traffic that you didn't see before.

The thing to remember is that with ZoneAlarm, it's very easy for you to deny those IP addresses to communicate with your computer. In simple terms, YOU are in control.

BTW, I chatted with Jeff about this, and he agrees. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

To Fanatic & Jeff

Thank you and Jeff for your response!

Hi Jeff, by the way you agreed that you wanted to post for me the forum about the case with the IP address 177........, where is it? And you did agreed that something strange happening to my computers as it keeps changing colours, remember you chatted with me yesterday?

Innocent, I edited your post to delete your negative comments. Please do not attack other members just because you don't like what they have to say.

Fanatic,

I'm not against any member at all, or making this forum to create problems! But you sound as though i like to create problems from here! Dear Sir, don't get me wrong, someone can be nasty to me and yet you still side them! Is it I'm being a Chinese and you guys are European? Just asking?

I'm not being negative about what other said "MR FANATIC". If you are to be my position, keep facing a lot of problems in your computer and yet people still tell you nasty things, i beg everyone sure bounce to be frustrated and angry, and moreover my computer recently just received Trojan virus and sent to SARC for analysis, and my computer totally down 2 to 3 times cause hacked by someone and uptil now, don't know who the person is!!!!!!!!!!

I really facing problems with my computers and that was why i search for this forum so that someone can help me up and not saying nasty things to me! Why they can said something bad about me and i can't, isn't it not fair to me? Please don't mistaken my intention of abusing this forum. Don't get me wrong! Moreover i'm a lady, what can i do????

Think for yourself Mr Fanatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

As far as I can tell, no one has said anything nasty to you. Rustedtight said that you have a better chance of getting pregnant than getting deliberately hacked. Maybe you misunderstood that as an insult, but I don't think it was meant that way.

The point is, you're worrying too much about something that is highly unlikely. I don't think the problems you're having on your computer are the result of being "hacked." You've got ZoneAlarm. You are safe!

As for all the many other computer problems you're having, it's tough to debug via a forum. But your best bet is to tackle them one-by-one. Break the problem down into many, smaller problems and solve them one at a time. It's easier for you and easier for the rest of us who really are ready to help you. Honest. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Honey, it doesn't matter if your Chinese or Alaskan Malamut, your chance of being hacked deliberately is close to zero. Get your head out of the "Oh God they are after me" bucket n derive a little pleasure from the web.
