Hi,

I have Intego Net Barrier and Virus Barrier (I recommend both for OS X 10.3.5 - have heard Norton OSX 10.3.5 users have had problems, so got Intego as recommended on .mac site) and today it stopped a Ping Flood! Set off a hooter that made me jump out of my skin too! lol

What is a ping flood exactly?

quote:" 199.203.183.185 This address was put in the stop list because it tried to attack your computer with a Ping Flood. OrgName:****Elron Technologies (based in NY.)" endquote

Have I been saved from something nasty?

It's made me worry about my security and about spyware etc. Is there more I can do to protect myself?

Who is Elron Technologies? Can I report them, get them shut down? Or should I just be thankful that my pings didn't flood?

I'd be delighted if someone technical could lend their thoughts and explain ping flooding.

Thanks in advance

Jen
