Salutations: port 135 Virus Alert XP W2K W23K and IIS (again) http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html It's one could be a real hippo brothers and sisters - time to update your virus definitions and I'm afraid right now.. arrggg.. :/ .. I have been watching a lot persistent inbound probes from around the globe on port 135 since last week on my thin server and updated my patches from microsoft over the weekend.. Look around for: Q331953_W2K_X86_EN.exe and Windows2000-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe I have updated definitions a few minutes ago and am running full system scan and checking registry as you read this even though I think I got port 135 patched as I'm showing clean here.. This is a VERY serious threat item in that port 135 (and port 445) is/are almost impossible to close on Windows short of a firewall - and even then - it will likely to be possible to get hit if you use messenger or peer to peer sharing protocols or allow auto update to run through the firewall on stealth ports (given time).. Thanks for the heads up and way good call brother Sean (hfx.general).. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Andrew Sisters - Rum and Coca Cola http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/089.RAM
