Script kiddies!!!!!!!!

[Bug_Master]

hi, i think that maybe that was some windowbomber(script that opens a large number of windows until system crash), many of this scripts can be bypassed by disabling the scripts in the pages.

Also if this is your problem i recomend using this prog:
Proxomitron
this help disabling some features when browsing


hope this helps

Just because you're running ZoneAlarm (not a great firewall to begin with...) doesn't mean you're invincible. Especially when it comes to trojans. For a trojan to work, you must have downloaded something. That program will open a certain port, allowing intruders in through there. Since the port was opened locally, most firewalls don't give a crap about it. But I'm gonna agree with everyone else. It was probably a faulty script on a site.

You don't have to worry about that portscan. You can get port scans because the have some that scan through a range of ips.

yeah just chill, and if your still worried, do a vulernablity check...

Ok now my dialup file has been deleted, thats easly fixed though. But does anyone know of a linux virus scanner that will check for windows viri?

[Viper]

there are some websites who have a java applet that open windows on an infinate loop. Which does cause windows to freeze and crash and go POOF. If you have XP, you can wait till it auto groups the windows and close the group. Otherwise, you're gonna have to fight it by ALT+F4. Or, like already mentioned, it could be just mass pop-up ads.

OK everyone, it'd seem that he doesn't just have a script problem... Yahoo? As in the Instant Messenger? Everyone knows that most IMs online are riddled with security holes and flaws, so maybe someone exploited it and caused you to download a file without knowing (Probably a buffer overflow) so download your latest virus pattern and find a decent trojan scanner. As for a linux virus scanner that detects windows virii, why would you need it? A windows virus will not operate on a xnix system or vice versa. If you have WinXP, type "netstat -o" at dos and check your ports and processes.

sounds like paranoia

if you're on broadband these days, it pays to be a bit paranoid. Just for fun, setup a Win9x box with ZoneAlarm on a broadband connection with logging turned on, and watch. You'll get a few portscans and probably an ICMP attack within 24 hours.

It's like a war with these kidz

[Seeker_319]

as you learn of the possibilities availably to skript kiddies and crackers isnt it hard not to be even a little paranoid?

[xTOXICSOLDIERx]

Wooow hold on he didn't even tell us what type of box he has yet. It might be that some1 is forgeting to log out of thier e-mail addresses which some comps constantly ask U to dailup when U forget to logout pluse when your dealing with a bunch of instant messenger prog. it will do the same thing.... WOULD U LIKE TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET? This message appears alot with MSN messager especially on a XP. BTW ZoneAlarm is really only good for babysitting other firewalls
