I'm currently running Windows XP, with AVG free and Spybot guarding my PC. As far as I understand, they are protecting my registry, though not my network.
"Your computer has been attacked from the internet."
I just recently installed a free version of kasperspy anti-virus, seeing as I only have windows firewall in the way of the big-bad internet. Since installation (about 4 days ago), it has picked up numerous attempts from a helkern worm, and now a TCP SYN Flood.
The flood is actually going on as I write this, with numerous IP addresses from around the world being cited as the source - as expected according to wikipedia.
I'm not exactly the noisiest internet user, and I don't really know anyone whom is capable of doing this. I'm also very careful when downloading files, and don't visit sites I shouldn't be on, or give away information that I'm not supposed to.
Nonetheless, it would seem that someone or something has it in for me.
This may be coincidental, but I was on TPU forums when the problems started occurring, anyone else having problems?
Is kasperspy feeding me reliable information? I know how difficult it is (or can imagine) to trace bouncing, but is there any way I can find out who or what is causing this?
I'm actually on TPU as I'm learning about Overclocking, and well, hardware in general, and this is proving to be a real pain! If anyone could perhaps offer some advice I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks, Nots0pro
