how do you know? zonealarm tells me its stopped 80000 attacks on my pc doesn't mean someones got access to my comp.

Odds are its just someone pinging random addresses hoping for an open port. If your firewall has detected this "port scan" then its successfully stopping it. I wouldn't worry but if your really concerned try a new firewall, zonealarm or comodo. Make sure to disconnect your net before uninstalling your old firewall though

Don't see any reason why he should switch from sygate tho.

Then how do you install the new firewall and update it with the internet disconnected

Post a screenshot of sygate showing me what you mean and i'll take a look.
