For example, one alert reads:

The firewall has blocked Internet access to your computer (TCP Port
1433) from 218.148.107.135 (TCP Port 3727) [TCP Flags: S].

218.148.107.135 is an address, correct? I put that in the URL bar and
see where it goes, this one happens to give a server error, but often
it gives an "address not found" message or takes me to one of these,
"oops, address not found, but sign up for your domain name here" type
locations.

> -websites doesnt snoop,

Then what is it that's snooping?
