Since yesterday (when i tried to download Real Player from perhaps a rogue site - see my question of last evening) I keep getting ZoneAlarm Security Alertssaying that it has blocked access from:
c-24-197-70.hsd1.ga.comcast.net(24.98.197.70)(24.98.197.70)(TCP Port 59129)[TCP Flags:S]
Whilst the TCP Port number changes every time, the rest of the info remains the same. By using a spurious download site have I imported something bad? Can I stop being the target of this unwanted, attempted intrusion? Any ideas please?

So, does this mean that I have probably picked up a virus which (I suppose) will require professional help to sort it out. Perhaps this also accounts for the fact that my internet connection sometimes almost freezes, and I have to switch off/switch on again to get back on line.
Can I ask, what would you recommend please? I've only had the laptop 3 weeks and it seems to be ******!!
dunno about a virus
you don't say where your version came from ... so impossible to say

just uninstall your real player (complete + all config)

go to the bbc iplayer which is less intrusive ...

really you should try iplayer (from bbc - http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/abo ut_iplayer/termscon works better

or even the latest version of media player

real; alt ... or even

Thought I was being safe, downloading from either real.com or real.com/player. However, i'll delete everything on real player and start again!
