McAfee Firewall Problem

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

How long have you gone w/o any events? I seem to get a few dozen a day from
all over the planet.

My problem with my Personal Firewall Plus is that I can never get the
Traffic Monitor to open w/o an access violation exception and crash.

I went six times to McAfee's online help before giving up. Their support
people are simply script-readers located perhaps in Asia. Their English is
OK, except when they have to write their own...

Maybe you should consider yourself lucky and you're not getting pinged. They
probably left you alone for a while.

I wondered if it could be the router but I have 2 computers hooked up (both
windows xp) through a Linksys router. One is showing events the other
isn't. That's what's confusing me. I have run all the tests and I come
back stealthed on both computers so I know the firewall is working okay.
