Hi there to all,

In regard to the UDP attempts on port 137 - here is what the folks at the
Zonealarm web site say about it - goto :

If you know of any Windows users who use the Internet and do not have
firewall protection on their PC - tell them that Zonealarm is available free
for private use and it is a very effective and easy to use form of
protection, there are also online tutorials and lots of help available.

Current version is 3.1.395 and is available from :
