Intrusioin Attemps
« on: May 11, 2007, 05:20:02 AM »
I keep getting a message fro Panda Internet Sec 07 saying "A intrusion attempt has been blocked". How can i further protct my pc from intruders, and even though my Wi-fi is disabled and i am useing a cable conection could that still have something to do with the attemps?
I wouldn't worry so much but the messages are popping up more and more all the time- so much as 10 times every 10min.
would it be a hacker, software, virus, or even a local intrusion(someone trying to use my net by hacking into the wi-fi)!!
IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME I WOULD REALLY APRECIATE IT!!!!!!

Are you on an encrypted network? A router? Any P2P downloads? More details are always better.

You can download a lot of nasty stuff from torrent sites depending what you are sharing. If programs, you have a 99.9% chance of being infected.

Have you run a virus and spyware scan? If you did it from safe mode and it was all clean, try the online scanner at www.trendmicro.com, which is free.
You might want to run Spybot as well, after you update it and immunize it, if you are not doing so already.

It would be a good idea to read your manual for that router about encryption, not broadcasting your SSID, etc.

Did you make any changes to your system, programs, etc. before this became a constant thing?

What are some of the specific messages you get?

    Intrusion attempts are common. As long as they are being blocked there is nothing you can do to stop them. Since you are using P2P programs, most of the attempts are likely coming from someone trying to connect, but if you don't have the programs running, this will be seen as an attempt. Go into Panda's settings and tell it to stop showing the popup.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
