It is probably nothing to worry about. More than likely just a ping request. If you look at the log you will see the ZA is blocking hundreds of requests to connect to your computer every day. This means it is doing it's job. If it would make you feel better you can post your log and we can have a look at it, but I doubt it is anything serious. I have over 2000 blocked attempts in my log as of the 22nd.

You can also disable that annoying popup if you want. If not it will drive you crazy!!!!!!!!!!

Ya, those are annoyances. You will probably also see many port 137 and 135 warnings too. If you are running the plus or pro version of ZA there is a way to still block them, but not let them alert or log you.

If you are using the free version, you have to put up with them.
