That\'s a front corporation for the CIA.  I told ya... Sweden shouldn\'t be harboring terrorists!  We\'re coming after you next...  JUST KIDDING!

If your firewall noticed it, then the hacker who\'s pinging you probably didn\'t get anything in return.  Just switch it so that it doesn\'t keep notifying you of intrusions.  What are you using, ZoneAlarm, or Black Ice, or what?
