Why does my firewall (ie BlackIce or ZoneAlarm) say that Grande is attacking me?

0

Frequently these programs are very sensitive to packets that are required for you to use the internet. A common example is firewall software reporting an attack on port 53, the port used for DNS. DNS is the translation mechanism that the Internet uses to allow you to access web pages by typing in their names rather than their numerical IP addresses. Sometimes a firewall package will report the response we provide back to your computer as an attack. Most alerts concerning port 53 can be safely ignored and/or disabled.
