Not sure where to post this, so this is as good as any other forum.

Just downloaded a copy of "Zone Alarm" (personal firewall) and got on the FlyerTalk. Was amazed/shocked to have more than 100 "pings" within a 30 minute period. What's up with FlyerTalk ?

Hello spanish flyer,

Did you check the IP addresses of your "pings"? Just because you are surfing FT does not mean that you are not still open to outside traffic. Zone Alarm is a great program and you where wise to install/use a firewall.

Try to find out if you are getting these messages from FT or another entity out on the internet.

Then with that info, FT (if this is what is happening) can better tell you what is going on.

Cya, George...
