And that's exactly the point: If you don't have a clue, why do you let
yourself get flooded with messages you don't understand.

And I guess that's why you were asking for some countermeasure that
doesn't counter anything and just cripples your own networking. Because
this is what blocking of random targets or autoblocking is: a lack of
understanding of security.

Fine, but is this an excuse for not informing yourself and therefore
choosing one of the most useless pieces of crap software ever? Hell,
even certain freeware virus scanners are better than the Norton stuff.
