Kaspersky question
I recently upgraded to the 2009(?) version of Kaspersky Internet Security (whatever the current version is.)
Used to be it pretty regularly popped up a window about having blocked an attack from a Halkern virus. Under new version, it pops up same type of window but advises that the attack wasn't blocked, but that the address might be spoofed. Anyone know where I have to go to just have it block that? I been around in circles with all the Settings locations trying to figure out what has to be changed to get it to block said attacks, and I can't find anything obvious or even non-obvious. |

no I don't. Maybe if you googled your problem. If others have had the same problem you might get a hit.
That's what I do anyway. |

Sounds to me like the virus is on your system, and it wasn't being blocked in the first place, but your previous software version didn't have an accurate enough explanation to give you when it caught the virus doing something.

If your OS is properly upgraded, I understand that virus cannot do anything. It exploited a defect in the SQL database software that has since been corrected.

Thanks folks.
I guess I'll just continue to ignore it. I'm not running that server software anyway. |
