Question [Answered] ICMP Ping
I just looked at my McAfee inbound events log and saw that in all 24 pages, it repeatedly shows events from the IP address of my mom's computer. It also shows very frequent attempts to ping my PC coming from the same IP address as my default gateway. I know this means my firewall is doing it's job, but should this worry me?

Most of it should be just what we call internet background noise. In whatever case, you should be safe with McAfee firewall.
