If you are interested, I can send a private message containing the site on the grounds that you promise to keep it secret to everyone else.

Did you just install Zone Alarm? I've been "scanned" over 100 times in the past 4 hours, it's generally not a big deal. You can turn the Event Alerts OFF or to MEDIUM (which will only show High-rated alerts). Having it on HIGH will drive you crazy. (It still logs all alerts, and you can review the logs...)

Hmm... well in that case I'm undoubtedly surprised that it's not whom I was looking for. I've just sent NetZero the website that I was accessing to see if the same thing hapened for him too, I needed to shut my computer down so I wouldn't get so many access attempts, I can send it to you too.

Zone Alarm is one of the best if not the best Fire walls I use it along with a program called 'Prevx home' it is supposed to protect your system from new and emerging attacks from worms, Trojans, spyware and hackers 'Prevex home' is free also

I just tried the website that NWO U2Ued me, and the same thing happened. here's a little more info:

The site wouldn't open at all in Firefox (my browser of choice, perhaps this is one reason why?)

It opened in IE, and everything looked normal. So I tried to open Word (NWO said Word locked up); Word started to open, then I got a Macro warning...not much info, except the Macro "author" was "Lingea s.r.o.", linked to an "Unsafe" certificate from the same source. (Now I have to go and delete the Macro from the Word startup folder...)

I'm going to report this to Zone Alarm.

Any other ideas anyone??

Oh, btw, this site is reporting on a law case, nothing to do with some NWO org, it's Omega World Travel. So that part's just coincidental.

Yeah, good point. I already sent the error report to Microsoft, I suppose we could also file a lawsuit against them for violating the FOIA, if that's the case. Since it's not viewable in certain browsers, but it is viewable in Internet Explorer, would that mean that they could possibly have a connection with them? What's the point of hosting a website if no one can see it?

Well, it might just be a fluke. Didn't appear to do any actual damage (fingers crossed).

I tried to report it to Zone Labs but apparently there's no facility to do so. Maybe I'll check Symantec...

If & when you get a response from Microsoft could you post it?

Yeah, it could possibly be a flux as well, I gtg now so I can't talk as much anymore.

Hardware firewall and NAT is real solution to it, that way incoming worms and attacks are stopped "even before they enter to your yard".
If you have only software firewall that means they're already knocking on your door.

And second thing is using non-Micro$oft browser, it's really prone suck every spyware and malware it founds to your PC.
