no zone alarm intrusions

[gf]

My home PC went down and had to reformat. Reloaded free zone alarm and
after 8 hours no intrusions shown which is unusual as I used to get
many per day. Am I protected or not?

Why not open ZA up and read the alerts and logs?

I did open logs nothing there, tried test and it said computer secure
but ZA still shows no attempts used to show dozens per day.

8 hours, no log activity...
You got Windows firewall going, if not, I'd think you'd be
broadcasting by now - modem lights blinking like crazy?

Try another FW, outpost is suppose to be good

To view network activity you might run TCPview

You can test over 1000 ports with the Shields Up test from grc. You
just click on Shields Up and test all Service Ports -- there should be
over 1000 ports and you should get a full stealth rating if all is good.
It may be that since your computer has a complete format and reinstall
that it has not been targeted yet.
