Have you been hacked lately?

Well, this evening has been pretty animated in france because of an attack using a security hole in windows XP (for most of the users).
The users had a window saying that:

(sorry it's only in french)

The computer is rebooted almost every 2 minutes (depending on the time between the attacks, and the servers used to do it)

The security patch for win2k is there (http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=C8B8A846-F541-4C15-8C9F-220354449117) and here (http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2354406C-C5B6-44AC-9532-3DE40F69C074&displaylang=en) is the patch for XP.

I think this is a result of that worm floating around because unfortunately I got this worm and my comp rebooted every couple of minutes.I updated avg and it removed the worm right away.

...around a year ago... we chatted on Blubster....it was your position then ....that firewalls and anti-virus programs were not needed, ...ie...you had been on the internet for years without a problem.... and that all this virus and hacking stuff was bull.
Im glad to see that you are now enlightened and are taking steps to protect yourself and your computer.

:thumbsup:

Waow! What a good memory!
Yes it's right i don't think it necessary to use a firewall if you don't have trojans or stuff like that. I still don't use any firewall, I just check micorsoft update's website to download each security patch.
