Remote cmputer rying to access mine

[Noodle]

Hi, don't know who to take this to, but having soe problems with a remote computer trying to access this one.

It has an extensive firewall on it because I got trojan last year, so not too worried, just worried about anyone else who doesn't.

It only seems to be this site too.

Just to let you know

Switch the remore access facility off on XP. I think you are just getting normal traffic as opposed to full attack

Right SSH. pretend I'm really sh1t with computers, and tell me exactly how to do that so a 7 year old child could understand

Start > Control Panel > System.

Click on the remote tab. Make sure the remote desktop is not selected.

Noodle, you are saying that this site is attacking you?

Just checked mine and mines allowing it (didn't know it was even there). This is the default setting and I have had no probs at all.
Noodle what’s actually happening?

Noodle, I doubt the remote computer trying to access you is actually e-goat.

However it may store certain info about you on your computer and it may be trying to access that data.

For instance, if you tick the "remember me" box on log-in, it has to store that password somewhere!!! (it is encrypted).

I'd recomend checking your cookie settings (Start -> Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Privacy). I've usually got that set to medium.

This is of course a complete stab in the dark, unless you can post exactly what the error message says.

If your firewall is picking it up and notifying you about it, it's not a problem.
The background traffic of the internet means that your computer will be 'probed' every now and then. This is normal. A sustained attack is possible though, just make sure your firewall is up to date and you should be ok.
Make you have disabled remote assistance though.
Are there any other problems associated with this problem though. Is your browser being redirected? Has your system started to slow down when doing normal tasks? Is your hard disc running like a steam train when the computer is idle?

Are you perchance using zonealarm ? That gives warnings all the time. If this is the case, you can set it to silence the warnings !

Glad I could still help despite all the proper advice already handed out.

You could always cheer yourself up some more by treating yourself to some nice Marmite sandwiches.

Those Marmite crisps that Walkers used to do were nice tooDT_Xtremez_30:

So does the Windows Firewall provide decent protection, or has that been stiffed by hackers ?

You're best off asking Vim_Fuego about that. I'm sure his Romanian friends will let you know.DT_Xtremez_35:

It's ok, it was beefed up with SP2 but I wouldn't rely on it.
There are quite a few free Firewalls out there. I use and recommend Zonealarm.
Once installed it'll pop up every now and then asking if something can access the internet at first, if you tick the box and click accept it'll stop bothering you.
It can also be told to not bother you about every port scan that it detects, and will happily sit in your system tray quietly doing it's job.
Download it HERE
And click on 'I Only want basic Zonealarm protection'.
Hope this helps.

I'll second that recommendation rojaws. I've used it for quite some time!
