I have been getting between 20-30 emails daily with the Subject "Alert Message!". It goes something like this
"Dear User
You router has detected and protected you against an attempt to gain access to your network. This may have been an attempted hacker intrusion, or perhaps just your ISP doing routine network maintenance. Most of these network probes are nothing to worry about. But repeat alerts should be reported."
Then it lists the day, time, Source, Destination etc of this "probe". The days are always back in 2008!
I have contacted my ISP regarding these messages. They had stopped the ones with them as Source or Destination. They had not been able to stop the others.
I told our PC fixit guy last time he was here, and showed him the messages. He seemed to think they are not harmful. he thinks our firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware should give our network enough protection.
I am not worried that our network is in danger of intrusion, just that it is rather annoying to receive these messages and have to delete them everyday.
Any suggestions?
