Javalin Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I started a virus scan about 35minutes ago, (from this message) and was notified of this.. bizarre warning. Apparently my firewall has stopped an outgoing attack on a computer? I'm sorry, but how on earth can a computer just make a high risk attack on somebody elses without anyone being behind the computer screen.Here is the warning that I got: I AM NOT A HACKER BEFORE ANYBODY COMMENTS!!! Also, this is a Norton 360 Security Warning. http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/9413/10922903nj9.jpg (Incase the Image doesn't appear) http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/9413/10922903nj9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamBatosai Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 First of all. I lol'd at your computer name. ;D Second, its probably being cause by some sort of trojan/virus on your computer. Its trying to spread itself over the internet from your computer. Best bet would be to try to delete/clean the infected file(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javalin Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 First of all: I'm glad you liked the name of computer. I really don't know why I named my computer that. I've been scanning, and I got nothing at all. 357,688 files on my computer. and I have 1 tracking cookie at the most, everytime. I'm getting the same Low Risk Tracking cookie- I've never had this problem before. and I 've never seen it at all. Edit: A keylogger Trojan Vundo is a KEYLOGGER!

IamBatosai Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Something you might want to try is to find one of the free online scans. The name of the one I use to use escapes me right now. But perhaps someone else will come along and post a couple links. Its just that sometimes different scan programs will find different things. Its at least worth a shot. Also, try doing a disk clean-up and a separate spyware scan. One might help. And neither will hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
