So...I'm curious...what does the DoD want with me? Why the hell are they trying to look up my PC? This is just one of about 5 hits I've had in the last few days. My apologies for the size...If I downsized it you wouldn't be able to read it.

That would figure...if there's one entity that has no sense of humor whatsoever, it's the U.S. government. It would take way too long to requisition the proper forms for a sense of humor. Another weird hit I just got was the Michigan State Government. What the hell are these IP ranges doing looking up my IP address?

It was our Gov Granholm. She wants to take away your $500 scholarship money from the meap you took in middle school, like all the kids here. ....Cunt.

No idea otherwise

How do you lookup who has been trying to access your computer?

Kind of what I was thinking

It's a program called PeerGuardian2 (which I blacked out just in case). It's sort of like a firewall/IP blocker that blocks a lot of adware/spyware as well as anyone you don't want looking at your computer. It's an open source code so you can modify anything you want, like adding IPs or unblocking IPs. It has a database of "bad" IP ranges that's got something like over half a billion ranges. It's great to see who's trying to look...but it will also block some things you might not want it to.

It's not that hi-tech Ms. Lyna. You just have to want to know who's looking for you. As for your ridiculously spyware infected computer, I said I'd help and I meant it. You just have to be willing to take the time to do it.:nana:

They probably caught wind of some of your Conspiracy Theories and are checking you out to make sure you aren't going to blow the cover. :D

I wouldn't worry about it much unless you've done something to worry about.
