    I use Sunbelt Kerio firewall. Under the "system" point there is ALOT of incoming connection, they are called "microsoft-ds".

    I'm worried because my dorms internet network is notorious for viruses and spyware.

    If you need any more information please tell me.

    thank you.

    download PereGuardian2. It blocks all types of IPs: Government, Ads, Spyware, P2P, and organizations that spy on what you download or do on your Laptop/PC.
