How do you stop these *%&!!

Is there any way to rid the planet from these pharkers who constantly scan ones system to see if the MSRPC (Microsoft Remote Procedure Call) and NetBIOS service is available. And to crown it all, 90% of these pharkers are Vodacom subscribers/users. I have their IP's and the whole shebang logged via my firewall.

Most likely a worm or a virus on the system of the person who is scanning you. Only think you can do is monitor who is doing it, and then pass that information onto vodacom or the relevant ISP to their abuse email address.

Mmmm , I'm a noob at 3G but it almost sound what is happening to me

Have all the Norton Internet secuity shebang - but my prepaid 3G is abnormally used . Like in 50 MB in two days . Only use 3G for email and web browsing . Not for large downloads (at R2 a MB it's kinda expensive )

Hmm, if Windows automatic updates in on, it might explain the extra bandwidth used. When I was on holiday in the mountains recently, my laptop decided it was time for a windows update, on GPRS at R2/mb!
