As a result of input form listers I loaded Avast.  All seems well except it 
says it is disabling itself because it detects Norton (which is 'switched 
off') and then goes on to scan email etc !!!!  However, I have one question 
for the experts.   A message pops up very so often to the effect that it 
has blocked an "attack" from 'DCOM Exploit' and gives an email address such 
as 206.172.157.190:135/tcp.  Now is this a normal thing to be continually 
'attacked' by this DCOM thing?  Did Norton block these attacks but never 
let on?  Can I blast back, complain to someone, or just switch off the pop 
up and relax? Regards Barrie Barrie Robinson (705) 721-9060 /// /// mgb-v8@autox.team.net mailing list /// Send admin requests to majordomo@autox.team.net /// Send list postings to mgb-v8@autox.team.net /// Edit your replies! If they include this trailer, they will NOT be sent. ///  |
