jellyjar #1 Posted December 22, 2009 I have for the last few days been seeing blocked ip addresses that are from china.

jellyjar #3 Posted December 24, 2009 If possible, please have your computer checked for infection.i have run several programs including norton NIS and there appears to be no infection. is it possible that these chinese addresses are trying to hack my computer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MysteryFCM #4 Posted December 24, 2009 It's certainly possible, yes.Are you by chance, running any P2P software? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noknojon #5 Posted December 24, 2009 Hi MysteryFCM -I have noted quite a few blocked Chinese IP questions in Malware area, as I traced them back to their base -Usually I tell them to stay well away -Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MysteryFCM #6 Posted December 24, 2009 Yep, but it's good to know whether it's P2P based, malware based or otherwise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noknojon #7 Posted December 24, 2009 Yep, but it's good to know whether it's P2P based, malware based or otherwise Agree 100% - P2P from China can be deadly - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jellyjar #8 Posted December 25, 2009 It's certainly possible, yes.Are you by chance, running any P2P software?I use Bearshare that I pay a subscription price for each month to download music. they inform me that they are infection free.the only music that I download is from their site perhaps not users. i don't allow anyone access my files and dont share music with anyone.how would I check if the chinese are getting my login at bearshare?

MysteryFCM #9 Posted December 25, 2009 BearShare is amongst the worst P2P programs you can use if you want to stay away from infections and whatnot (I highly recommend you get rid of it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
