Anyway, it's pretty strange, never seen stuff like this.

nah it just said invalid IP is trying to connect..i redid the settings for internet explorer and that seemed to fix it..i was finding that my firewall wasnt letting me open links that were going to open in a new window.

any..i thought it was funny that i was trying to hack myself ad still was unsuccessful and that i could track the hack back to me..that cross hair was right over my house.

maybe someone who's using a fake ip-address if this is possible with a spoofer
or a program on your computer which is acting strange

When installin firewalls make sure u do it as soon as u have installed windows, otherwise u prob have spyware on yr comp, and it is doin gay things like this

The best firewall i installed on my 56k wouldnt let me connect to my isp coz i had spyware, lol

So always good to start a fresh, then the firewall stops any spyware from gettin onto your system

But have fun, heh
