How many do people normally get and are these real attacks or what? And what do I do about it?

Memsy!
Welcome to the HIGH TECH world!
Guess you see now why we told you to get the Black Ice Defender, huh?!
In the last 8 days I've had 426 hits on my Black Ice Defender. Most of those are harmless or actually false positives. Four were not so innocent. I haven't done it yet,but you can report the nastier attacks (trojan horse and proxy) to the isps of the offenders. BI also allows logging that can be sent if the Isp needs proof. Check the warnings, though. All kinds of your data has to be sent.
Saz tells me he had a trojan horse attempt on his pc the other day and is going to report it, maybe he can tell us how.
Hackers love our fast connections. I'm told my provider is a major target for hackers who like to use you to get to other places to do damage.
How is your connection speed? Are you loving it?!!!
