computer scanned your computer?
I have the Mcafee Security Center through Dell and I review the events log for the Firewall. I generally notice a Sub 7 trojan scan and Kuang2 the virus in the Event Information. Down at the bottom it says that "the source computer has scanned your computer for this trojan but has been blocked by your firewall.
What does it mean by scanning my computer? What was blocked?
Thanks for information.
Susan

It's nothing to be concerned about. It just indicates that your firewall is doing its job and protecting your computer.
If I remember right, Kuang2 is a virus that steals passwords, and Sub 7 trojan allows remote access to your computer. The firewall is just reporting that another computer is scanning the internet looking for machines that have been compromised by these intruders.
Your anti-virus program can help block these from getting installed, and your firewall also protects your system from these getting installed, and prevents them from doing their thing even if they did get installed.
