Also Refer, download and scan

Don't forget to update them to latest definitions and also while scanning, turn Off the internet ;)

it is not a attack according to me
u r using dynamic internet ( ip changes every time u restart modem )
so those messages come for that only

Only Norton and Avast shows it
Other Av programmes hav updated contenets os as not to show them

Still Just Run a UnhackmE test and u will get to know if there is a worm or keylogger

its not a hack attempt if you using BSNL broadband then your IP address changing automatically and thats only warning that your computer is attached to it . . . so no need to worry about it . . .
