Alright, so my computer is protected with the 2007 version of Norton Internet Security. Almost every time I sign on to the Internet (I use Firefox, if that helps), I get a message saying "An intrusion attempt to your computer has been blocked" or something like that. This happens to me between 5-10 times while I am on the Internet. Norton alerts me only if it is a "high risk" intrusion. Mostly, they are all low risk intrusions, but there have been occasional instances of high risk intrusions as well. Could someone please tell me exactly what this means? Does it mean someone is trying to hack into my computer to try and get personal information, or something else? Also, Norton tells me the IP address of the attacker. Is there any way to look up IP addresses to find out who's attacking my computer?
Any help would be much appreciated.

ok, no real hacker will try to "hack into your computer" you offer nothing to them, and norton is mostly likely trying to scare so you buy their worthless product. it is mostly likely norton stop a pop-up.

1st off, no "one" is attacking your computer. It may be a virus, it may not be. A virus is a program, not a person.
Secondly, if you are blocking those attacks, you should be fine.
