I run Zonealarm on my PC which generates a fair amount of alerts. I have checked out where these alerts are coming from. Some are from my ISP - is this normal? and why? Some are from companies I have never heard of - I even had one the other day from BT - why is this? Should I be contacting these companies and asking them why they are doing this? If so can someone suggest appropriate wording so it sounds a bit more like I know what I am talking about!
