What is this...

DEBBIE

I am new to computing, and I need help in understanding
this. I use windows xp, I also have used Norton (NIS) for
my firewall, and antivirus program. I update both windows
and my virus def regularly. I looked in my computer event
logs and this has come up, I don't know what this means,
and if it is a security problem, I don't know what to do
about it. The event logs starts from 11/6/2003 to
1/31/2004. I have had norton in place since Aug. 2003.
This is what some of the logs show:

potential security hazard since some of the network

applied IPSEC filters. Please run Ip Sec monitor snap in
to further diagnose the problem.

Can anyone tell if my computer has been hacked into, and
if so what can I do to rectify the situation. Please
forgive my ignorance on computing? I run a virus check
twice a week and have run a computer security check using
Symantec often. The antivirus scans always shows no virus,
and the security checks always say my computer is safe and
shows it's stealth. Thank you in advance for your reply
and for any advice you can share with me on this matter.

It is normal for there to be a lot of events like those in there. I looked
through mine and was able to find similar events.

Skimming through what you posted, I don't see anything that would set off
alarm bells for me.

The one about "IPSEC" for example is something that would be logged if
there's a temporary network problem like an unplugged cable.
