Recently I have been getting hundreds of attempts to access my computer
according to Norton Firewall 2002 this has been caused by "Sokets de trois"
and I get many security alerts per day. I am using an ADSL connection

and there are 700-800 attempts per day. Is this something I should be
concerned about and is it a REAL threat?Also I am running Windows Xp Pro's
firewall in conjunction with Norton's (activated Windows as of yesterday) is
this helpful?/

thanks in advance

Those are just attempts to find out if you have that trojan installed.
If you don't have a static IP, it's quite possible that somebody who had
that IP before you had this trojan, and a script kiddie is now
desperately trying to get its toy back
