My System Suite 8 Firewall has been catching and stopping (so it says) a port scan/hacking attempt for some weeks now. It always comes from the same remote IP address(s) - 68.105.29.11, 68.105.28.11, 68.105.28.12. I have not been able to find much about this, not that I was able to make sense of anyway. I assume it is a robot of some sort, but I am wondering if it has installed something on my computer that it is synchronizing with. It only happens when I am online, and then several attempts are made within seconds or minutes of each other, then every two to four hours it tries again, if I am still online. It does not happen on all websites, but I noticed that youtube, among others, seems to inspire it. My System Suite firewall says it is catching and stopping these attempts, but I would like to know why it is focusing on my computer and put a stop to it if possible. I will resort to reformatting and reloading the OS if need be, but would prefer to remove whatever is shining the spotlight on my computer. Any suggestions? I searched the site for info, but did not understand what I was reading.

Thanks,
Rfglasart
