About the Inbound Events page Showing events that share identical event information Use this option to review other events in the Inbound Events log that have the same information in the Event Information column as the event you selected. You can find out how many times this event happened, and if it is from the same source. The Event Information column provides a description of the event and, if known, the common program or service that uses that port. To show events that share identical event information: 1 Right-click the McAfee icon in the Windows system tray, point to Personal Firewall, and click Inbound Events. 2 On the Inbound Events log, right-click an entry, then click Show Only Events with the same Event Information. Responding to inbound events In addition to reviewing details about events in the Inbound Events log, you can perform a Visual Trace of the IP addresses for an event in the Inbound Events log, or get event details at the anti-hacker online community HackerWatch.org web site.
