March 22, 200421 yr If you have not heard about the W32.witty.worm, i would DEFINATELY read this. Very fatal virus. Keepin you all on top o' things http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1212&e=9&u=/washpost/20040321/tc_washpost/a11310_2004mar20&sid=96168964
March 22, 200421 yr Thanks for keeping us updated on that. We should be extra cautious with this virus around.
March 23, 200421 yr Yes lets all agree that you're much safer without a firewall then with one because one virus found an exploit.
March 23, 200421 yr NO FIREWALL + BROADBAND=INFECTION/HACKI would recommend a hardware firewall.One that does PAT(packet address translation) or NAT(network address translation).By running a software firewall, you are still allowing the attacker/intruder/hacker to shove IP packets into your computer.im done....peacesendmail
March 23, 200421 yr lolI have no anti-virus software at all...I have no firewall...and I can't remember the last time I've had a virustake it from me, stay clear of that stuff, and you'll be safe !
March 23, 200421 yr Author Im using the Kerio PF / AVG combination. Best thing ever to hit me sine... ever.. KPFv4.1.13 / AVG Pro 7.0 Great systems. Kerio is very responsive, nicely created, etc. all hack attempts are blocked.. no matter what. It is keeping me stealthed from the net (w000!). Kerio and AVG detects a good amount of stuff, good enough for me.. but people always recommend (XP users turn off System restore before doing this if you do) the antivirus made by Trend Micro. They have a free web-scanner. Free Antivirus by Trend Micro (House Call) If any of ya would like to see/hear my opinion about the W32.Witty.Worm, Is i read some details about the virus last night. This virus is *supposedly* undetectable.... If the virus is undetectable... why does symantec have removal instructions and the detection information... Im considering this virus a joke. So, if you dont have a firewall and youre on broadband, still.. get one. It will save your behind now and then. Get an antivirus too.. lol. Feel sorry for you if you had a virus unwanted.. lol Well, im oudda here! - l8r - Carbine -TSD cr3w - Free Technical Support Forum
