Ok I just checked my firewall log and this hit at 9:07pm
A computer at IP Address 152.1.109.52 has attempted an unsolicited
connection to TCP port 1024 on your computer.
TCP port 1024 is commonly used by the "Reserved / NetSpy Trojan" service or
program. The source computer has scanned your computer for this trojan, but
it has been blocked by your firewall.
So there is no way I am dropping it just to see if Seti works.
