I don't think there is anything wrong with product cart, I just like to understand why I'm getting these. I've been getting them since I installed the Anti Spam fix effecting the two files issued with it. Below is what I'm getting. Any insights?
Katharina

Store administrator,

Someone has attempted to log into the store more than times. User

information is:

xxxxxx

If you believe this to be an authorized user that is attacking your store

in an attempt to gain unauthorized entry, you may want to contact your Web

hosting company and have them block the IP address.

A script is trying to use the form to send SPAM. The code that you added to the store has a built-in e-mail alert to the store administrator. This allows you - if you want/can do so - to block the IP address of the offending party from being allowed to visit your store (this is something that you would do in IIS).

The only foreign one I can find in that long listing is 69.210.118.86
That one is ATT internet services. I worry that I would block any ATT dialup user. The other ip address is the service provider webhost4life, which I use. That's makes it so puzzling, and that's why I've posted it. What I also see is our security certificate from Comodo. That is a clickable link on the bottom of all our pages. Do you think that this is causing it? Meaning someone goes to the page contact.asp, click on the certificate, and causes the script alert ?

There could be a bug in what information is included in the e-mail. We are looking into it.
