I keep getting "Packet sent from <IP adress> to 192.168.50.101 was blocked.
One such example address is 74.42.163.170 (UDP port 60387)
I just got a whole row of these messages, each from different adresses, what's going on?
220.208.75.145 (UDP Port 9649), got another one. |

| Packages are being sent to you and blocked by Zonealarm. I don't see the problem. |

Typical "time to be clever" answer.
Don't you wonder why packets are being sent to him and for some reason are deemed bad by ZoneAlarm and it didn't happen before? I'd be a bit concerned too. |

| Zonealarm like any other firewall will block whatever isn't on its whitelist, this is the same for other programs like comodo firewall and online armor. Unless you are having problems using certain programs, I wouldn't worry too much. |

Why do you run a software firewall outside of the Windows one? It's perfectly secure.
Anyway, just find out whatever it is that is connecting on these ports.
netstat -n -p tcp -b | more
Should give you an idea. |

If I were familiar with that kind of stuff I probably wouldn't be asking about it 
Or maybe I would, I don't know, as I said I'm not very network-savvy.
What exactly are you telling me to do here? |

Yes but if he didn't get it before and gets it now it could be something else and even if it's not, you can give a better answer than your original one. |

netstat -n -p tcp -b | more

Open up the command prompt (Windows search -> type "cmd") and type netstat -n -p tcp -b | more. It will list active sessions being used by programs on your computer. Paste the full output on that here and we should be able to tell if there's a trojan or something making suspicious connections on your computer.
I suppose they wouldn't show up if Zonealarm was blocking them though. |

| Pretty standard for ZA to block stuff. I always get stuff blocked, and as long as you don't have any other issues with the PC I don't see what there is to worry about. |
