    Hi,

    TonyT is right :) False positives

    Go into your firewall admin>advanced>misc and make sure that your log suspicious packets in unchecked as it will load up fast.. these are usually useless as they are timed out packets that have arrived after the service stopped listening.

    If the packets were not inspected there is no way to really know what their true intent was, so they are just probes that were blocked.

    Regards,
    FireDancer :)

    TonyT, FireDancer - thanks for that.

    Have recently dumped ZA Pro in favour of Kerio and just at the bottom of the learning curve :)
