My firewall log shows, “TCP ack packet attack”. (blocked) What does this mean?

First, a little background info.
My o/s is win98se. (I know, I know, so don’t go there, ok?)
I have IE6(all updates), and Firefox 2.0.0.4. The phone co. in my area doesn’t offer yahoo dsl, so I’m back to being tortured by a 56.6k V92 dial up modem. I like Firefox, but it runs too slow on my dialup…………
About the firewall…..
For a couple of years, I used Sygate pf (latest freeware version), with no problems at all. but recently I started experiencing BSOD’s and lockup. When this happened, the Raw log would have numerous entries of…”Logon impersonator-wrong OS”, and “system configuration has been changed”. Reinstalling didn’t solve the problem. I even tried downloading the setup from a different site, no help.
Now I’m using Kerio PF(version 2.1.5), and so far–so good. But these “attacks” slow my pageloads drastically, and I”m concerned. I have Norton a/v (up-to date), and ran Panda Activescan (both negative).
wudaya tnk….??rootkit?? Any suggestions? I’m all ears.

where can i disable Firewall in Domain Server 2003?

I want to access my domain by remotly from a dialup but i canno, is there some possible reasons beside of firewall.

Can’t connect thru firewall, can’t change setting for conn. type?

I can’t connect to YM, and when I look at the connection settings dialog, it looks like it thinks I have dialup. I don’t, I have DSL. It is greyed out though, so I can’t change it. Changing to different options such as firewall with no proxies hasn’t changed anything yet. How can I connect?
I can’t figure out how to reply to that first answer, so I’ll do it here – I’m connected to the internet. I am currently using IE browser to get to Yahoo Answers to ask this – YIM still is not connected.

How can you be sure that the passwords you use in online bank accounts won’t be stolen?

What are the security risks when using a computer at a public library to make financial transactions? What about a home computer with dialup – how can you be sure that your spyware, antivirus and firewall softwares are safe enough to use to make financial transactions?

Webcam – DSL and Dialup?

My webcam worked with dailup and now with DSL, it does not. Why? I have done tons of stuff to fix it, but nothing. Made changes to the firewall and added stuff. Put Yahoo Webcam in the advance tab area, with IP 127.0.0.1 under both external & internal port put 5100. Is there anything else that might work.
My webcam is working, I can bring it up on my screen, I have also uninstalled and re-installed the webcam.
