Most firewalls assume that you are a newb to understanding how a firewall works, and it merely is assuming that since your system blocked it, you don't need to know more.

Hitting yes should give you stuff like traced IP address, memory dump etc, stuff you won't need to know unless you want to get revenge.

But seeing as how hackers can spoof IP addresses, it doesn't really seem useful.

You can hit yes for fun, after all, it's not often you do get hacked. *

Its called clicking yes creates adware files inside your Temp folder, which then screw up your internet connection later when you least expect it. Run pop-up blockers to solve this problem, I havent seen a popup ever since I used Firefox + Proximitron!
