Default Organisations looking inside your PC

Dear LOTR (and others interested in PC Security)

I have just gone through my Peer Guardian log and found that the following organisations tried repeatedly, and failed, to connect themselves to my PC:

Naval Research Laboratory Stennis Space Center Bay, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), NHI-NETWORKS-FAKES, City of Halifax, Myrias Computer Technologies Inc Canada, Communications Resources, United States Navy, National Science Foundation, INRIA, FTP Software Inc., MCA, Microsoft London Internet Data Center and RealNetworks Inc.

I ask these questions knowing that I will never get an answer but why would NASA, the US Navy, some computer company in Canada, etc. want to look at my PC? What right do they have to try and invade my privacy?

It is bad enough that I have to try and protect myself from criminals, phisers and hackers but now I have to protect myself from foreign (US and Canadian) agencies and companies.

This just makes me feel sick.




UK Bob
