Post subject: 400 attempts to infiltrate my computer in 1 hour?
Archived from groups: alt>comp>virus (more info?)
|
|
|
My log from my Pc-cillin anti-virus software told me that in the last
hour that I was connected via broadband to the internet, my Windows XP
machine had suffered about 400 illegitimate attempts to access its
ports. I even had 2 trojans install themselves in my computer as I was
registering and setting up the pc-cillin software during that hour, so
it wasn't complete functioning at the beginning.
How can there be so many attempts to illegally access my computer? Is
this normal?
My other computer is a Windows 98 on a phone modem. I practically
never have problems with it, and I have it on the internet maybe 10
hours a day, and doing pretty risky stuff, such as file sharing. |

yeah...and your point is? of course it likely already compromised if your
using file sharing. |

howdy wizard,,,,,,,,,
i'm exactly the same as you my friend, i never get attacks (well, within
reason) using win98 and a phone modem.
I go to college where everything is run on xp, and all the students
there have xp at home, ....and they are forever coming in and telling
about the attacks they get.
I'm also the same as you in regard to the puter being connected about 10hrs
a day.
Seems to me there is a common denominator here.
g/h

At the least I would install a cheap firewall router to block the intrusions
in your computer. Your software firewall has to process all those intrusions
eating up processor cycles.....

Actually that's not such bad advice, but having a properly configured
firewall between you and the net means far less messing about whenever a
reinstall is required. I regularly build VPC VMs on my home desktop machine
and I'd get so bored with constantly messing around with services just so I
could safely connect them to the net. Luckily I have a pretty good firewall
config (two actually, one fairly open, the other quite tight with one
machine sitting in between)
