We are not the police ..

Please don't tell me the name and IP address of the guy down the street you're sure is hacking into your computer.

No, you don't need to read me all the warning messages in your firewall log, the first half dozen are more than enough.

I'm terribly sorry the local police aren't listening to you.

Yes, I'm sure it's terribly frustrating.

Ma'am, please take your meds ..

Have a guy that is convinced that a Linksys firewall + anti-virus + Windows firewall isn't enough, and that hackers are targeting him SPECIFICALLY!

"Please hold, sir, we're alerting the black helicopters to come get you. Oh, wait, my boss is saying I shouldn't have said that. Um... please ignore what I said about alerting the helicopters. There are no helicopters. UmmmmmBYE!"

Usually, when it happens, they've picked out someone down the block who they're sure is doing it. And I can only imagine what the police think when they call for the second or third time *that day* to report it and harass them into sending out an officer to investigate. They seem to call tech support when the police get tired of taking complaints ..

If he has either of the firewalls configured for true stealth mode (i.e. inbound TCP and UDP requests that aren't to specifically allowed ports just vanish into the bit bucket), and he thinks *that* isn't enough, he's on some good meds. Or needs to be. :D

But whether that's true or not, if he expects *you* to send somebody out to deal with the hackers, he's calling the wrong people. And has probably more than exhausted the patience of the right people.

Or doesn't know what sufficient security that really is.

One infamous lady at my old job thought that the company was trying to hack her Pacemaker because it had a similar Logo.
