263847 2004-08-21 03:13:00 A blocked packet is a packet of data, any data, blocked by your firewall. It's probably inocuous.

Userinit logon is you windows user logon when windows starts. Problems with it can point to malware/virus activity. Is there a problem?

youre asking me?

i have no idea if its a problem, just showing up in ZA progs list thats all.

what would signify that its a prob?


how would i know if its from a comp / friend as most are on dial up and there IP changes every log on doesnt it?

263849 2004-08-21 03:44:00 Can you post the log or give an idea of the context of the entry in the log. Really though, if your not having logon, popup, redirect or suspicious activity issues I'd leave well enough alone.
