Does anyone know what a ' TCP flag combination type intrusion ' means, my security keeps popping up with that message and saying it has been blocked, here's hoping cos' I ain't got a clue

Okay, I'm fumbling a bit here so this may be a little wide of the mark.  TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol and it has to do with the transfer of information from the net to your computer.  Flagging is a system of identifying dubious data as it comes in - it will be flagged as dodgy.  Presumably, a combination of flags is even more suspicious.  So it sounds as though someone or something is trying to get into your computer and being stopped, either by a firewall or the router.  It may be completely harmless but the combination of flags would indicate something more serious than a simple mis-identification by your security.  I suppose as long as long as it keeps getting blocked, there's nothing to worry about.

It's either that or Hamilton has spun off and entered a marshall's post, emerging with a couple of flags draped around the rear wing...

Cham, thanks mate, your right, as long as it's being blocked it's ok, flaming Hamilton again eh, that was great, had me in stitches,

But it was all Nando's fault. He blocked him first.
