My computer is filled with 200 or more security failure
audits #680 and 529. Could you please tell me what these
mean? Is someone trying to get onto my computer? This
indicated and Account Logon attempt by Microsoft
Authentication package V1_0 for error #680. Even #529
indicates an unknown user name or bad password when I was
not on my computer. There are so many within a very few
minutes of one another. Could you please explain what may
be happening here? Thank You.
Linda

Turn on your firewall.

Someone or thing is attempting to get an authenticated
connection to your machine. There are scanning tools
all over the net with are constantly trying to find account
password pairs on any machine they see booted.
