I was wondering exactly that. If the software is just recording attempted hits, but none of them are actually getting in or doing anything, then I wonder if it is really worth the money to buy it. Thus far, I have not been aware of any behaviour on my computer's part that would suggest that somebody has broken in and messed around with files, etc. From some of the notes that I have been reading, it seems like a router would be a more effective security solution for those with always-on internet connections.
