Computer attack from South Korea
Over the last couple of weeks, an attack has been attempted on my PC from a South Korean site, whilst I'm logged on to FlyerTalk.
The IP is 211.172.11.72
Has anyone else noticed this?

That's a windows backdoor program.
Not sure why you are getting that warning. If you are on a broadband connection it would be a good idea to put some kind of hardware firewall between yourself and the net. Any linksys router will do the trick and also allow you to use more than one pc on the connection.

Best FireWall Program IMHO
The FREE ZoneAlarm personal firewall program from www.ZoneLabs.com is my personal recommendation. It can be a little "noisy" at first. But after you train it (configure) for your allowed applications it works very well. Be very judicious about which applications you permit internet access to. If you're not sure, research it before granting access. I swear by this program and use it on all my personal PCs (and no, I don't work for them in any way).
