Software firewall I take it. I think you program may have got it wrong, be sure you have your firewall software patches kept use up-to-date.

Fair enough. Didnt think Ford forums actually tried a nuke attack. but maybe someone hacked something or I dont know. Just thought id post as its never happened to me before.

Carry on.

Commercial firewalls tend to blow everything out of proportion and make any anomaly sound far worse than it actually is, hence why I don't have one.

These days you're asking for trouble if you don't have a good firewall. If you install it correctly it will tell you what it's doing and not send out any false alarms.
