TheBanyanTree: Where do they go?

[Woofie]

OK...I can see a problem straight away...you have too many AV products
running. You must only ever have one product..having more than one
causes all sorts of conflicts and problems.

To find out about an IP address, go to whois.apnic.net (for asia
pacific addresses) or    http://www.arin.net/ for US ones etc

The particular address below is a Chinese one...most hacking attempts
come from China, Taiwan and Russia. You don't need to worry if the
attempts are blocked though..it means your firewall is working.

Uninstall one of your AV products for a start and see how you go.

PM> I have a computer situation that baffles me.  Can anyone shed some light on it?

PM> My computer has a Sygate personal firewall installed (set on
PM> 'normal').  It also has McAfee and AVG free.  

PM> Every morning when I turn on my computer, a box comes up that
PM> says AVG is scanning my incoming emails.  But there's a problem.
PM> While AVG scans 5 emails, only three or four appear in my inbox.  

PM> My daughter sent me an email three days ago that has not appeared
PM> in my inbox but it shows as having been successfully sent.  I have
PM> no way of knowing what other emails have gone astray.  So... where do the missing emails go?

PM> And the other thing that worries me is that I sometimes get a
PM> message that someone is scanning my computer and it gives me the
PM> IP? address, such as 222.38.148.19..  Does this mean a hacker is
PM> looking over my files?  How can I find out where this IP address is located?

PM> Okay... so I'm technically challenged.  Can't help it; it's just
PM> me.  Any insights would be appreciated.

PM> Pat Martin
