Okay; so most of the time when I'm on the forums, it's when I have nothing to do at work. I'm a desktop tech and work hand-in-hand with my network admin. I just got an email from our firewall this morning with all possible attacks on our network, and look at what showed up... I don't want to jump to conclusions, and maybe it's not harmful, but look here:

08/09/2007 15:46:04.240 - Alert - Intrusion Prevention - Probable TCP FIN scan detected - 216.92.211.171, 80, X1, www19.ad.tomshardware.com -

------------------------------ Thermaltake Armor Series Case - ASUS P5K Delux Wi-Fi Motherboard - Intel Q6600 2x4MB Cache 2.4GHz....@ 3.6GHz - 4GB G.Skill PC-6400@1125MHz 5-5-5-12 - EVGA GeForce 8800GTX - 2x 150GB Western Digital Raptor X (RAID-0) - 40" 1080p Samsung LCD.
