It really helped me....

Answer 2

No it means the owner of the IP is a Cox Communication customer, so if you need to know about the user you need to file a complaint with Cox.

Answer 3

Cox owns the IP address and one of their customers will be using it.  The customer might not be doing anything wrong; they might have a virus that they haven't found out about yet and it might be the virus that is trying to get in.

Answer 4

its probaby not, better to be safe though, but normally its just poorly setup computers, maybe a server thats open to and basically polling the internet like it would a network, even with norton security if i enable ftp i get lots of these

Answer 5

that is who owns the IP not who is using it and just cause Norton claims its someone trying to hack you system doesn't mean thats what it really is. You get the message because something from that IP tried to access a port on you PC that isn't open on the firewall. It is possible its a hacker but i doubt a hacker would try only 3 times

Answer 6

If it says: "(IP address) was blocked from accessing your computer." then it wasn't a hacking attempt. It was just some program, which doesn't carry a risk.

But of course if it says: "An intrusion attempt by (IP address) was blocked." then it's the real deal

Now the company mentioned is probably the ISP of the hacker, I don't think a company like that would go around hacking people's computers.

If these hacking attempts persist, there should be an option in Norton to block the IP address for a certain amount of time, or even indefinitely.

Answer 7

I don't think that they are them, hacker maybe stoled the IP from them. (COX). But don't worry that guy "hacker" that try to hack you pc is in trouble now. Hes pc is in a big freeze, because your anti virus freezes the pc that whated to hack you..nice.
