It sounds like McAfee is doing its job correctly.
I am still not clear whether it was detecting a conection to Skype or to your PC or network in general but it certainly appears to be an unwanted attempted intrusion.

If you want it is possible to block the IP address on your router.

Are you running a firewall?

yes Errol. Ukraine,

lol dont know anyone there!! ;-)


I 'avent got a clue about all this......its gobbledook to me

do i just ignore it from now on?

Hi Mr Bobthingy sir
Did Mcafee link it to Skype?
I have just checked the IP address you provided and it would appear to be Ukraine.
I am getting Kyivstar GSM which I believe may be a Ukraine (rough geographical area) internet provider

Right,

Hi Errol

cooeeee!

what do you know about skype? I only have three active contacts on skype, but this morning my mcafee said.............Risky connection from IP 176.8.183.179.

looking into the "more" it showed a map and a possible location of this threat......

Ukraine...........

does this mean that someone tried to contact me? that mcafee didnt like??

Ok Errol will do Thanks

I felt it would be cooler during the current rather sunny spell.

If it happens again (the IP problem I mean, not the sunshine), there is something else we can do so just let me know.
Glad to be of help.

OK will do that when I can catch up with him , if ever! and have done the other thing you suggested so will wait and see if any more alerts come up . Thanks Errol your a Star
Like your Beach wear much better than other :-D

Just another suggestion - double check with your son that the network is password protected and what sort of encryption it is using.
Catch you later.

Glasgow Lass I don't connect to mobile (hardly use the thing) and we don't have any ipods etc apart from laptop....really not with it lol.

Errol just going to try this out then going for a bite to eat Thanks for you help let you know later how it goes :-)

Nolls,
Do you connect to your wi fi via your mobile phone?

The message comes up on my PC every day, but it's because we have 5 phones and various devices in the house that can access the Wi Fi.
Ipads, ipods, laptops, netbooks ect

Gosh! I've just realised how many devices there are in our household!

ok lolol

Give this a try (for Windows 7) - you might want to write it down or print it off

1. Hold down the Windows key (probably next to the Alt key) and press the R key.
2. In the box that opens type "cmd" (without the quotes) and then press Enter/Return.
3. A black window opens. Type in "ipconfig /release" (again without the quotes and with a space between the two words) and press Enter.
4. After a load of text has scrolled up, type "ipconfig /renew" (without quotes and with a space) and press Enter.

This should solve the problem.

hehe Errol if only I could remember what happened half an hour ago :-D
OK maybe it was 7

ok no worries.

Which version of Windows are you running?

I think that you told me before but I can't remember - sorry.

Not sure about that ... son did look at my p/w (that's the numbers at back of whatsits yes?) can't remember why he did that but if it's him it's OK

Is you're wireless network password protected?

In other words, if anyone else wanted to connect to it would they require a password?

In all likelihood you have nothing to worry about but we'll try a couple of things in a mo - just grabbing a bite to eat

I get the phone through talktal* but that is all no games consoles ...........I'm getting worried. Had a fraud through Litt**woods catalogue a couple of months ago

Is anything else using the network?
Games console?
Phone?
etc

Hi Errol don't think other is on but using wireless

No need to panic.

Is the other computer switched on?
Are you using a wireless network?

Have just had this message pop up on my emails

Another Computer on this network has the same IP address as this computer....etc.

I have another table computer which I have not used in abt 2yrs do you think the above message related to it? If so funny how it is just saying this now? If not what would I do..it does say see your supplier do you just phone them up??
Thanks for any replies
