Newtear Attacks

[Bruce]

I have McAfee firewall and I keep getting warnings of
blocking a Newtear Attack. What is it and how can I stop
this from happening? Thanks for your help Bruce

Well, your firewall is performing it job by
blocking the attacks. Look in your McAfee
options and turn-off the alerts. You really
do not need to be alerted each time your
firewall senses and prevents an attack which
cannot be controlled otherwise.

In short, you can't stop someone knocking on your door: you can choose when to open it and who to let in.
