Hello! I use Zone Alarm and I had 400 attacks today to my port 137. I am afraid that I am infected. I have scanned my system with my antivirus, antispyware and antitrojan, but they did not find anything. Still, what if the nasty is something completely new? Please, tell me what to do because I am in panic now!

Hello! First of all, stop panic! These attacks are not passed through your firewall, because if they did, you would have a plenty of viruses or spyware or Trojans on your system. Somebody scanned your port and probably tried to pass it, but it did not. Also, ZA sees everything like threat to force you to buy Professional version. Think about that!
