Trojan Horse attacks

[JB Arnold]

I have Norton firewall and antivirus, and I'll bet a day doesn't go by that I don't get alerted to at least 4 or 5 trojan horse attempts. I don't recall this in the past, but i didn't have such elaborate software or a 24 hour conection either. Is this normal, or is there something on my computer attracting these assaults?

JB, I have the same software that you have and I have the same problem. However, I think the software hits on somethings that it calls a "trojan horse" that really isn't. The reason I say this is because I have my computer in my studio networked with a computer upstairs in my bedroom and routinely I get that message that my computer has been attacked and the software blocked it. When I check to see where it originates, It says it's coming from the other computer on my network. There are only 2 computers on my network be the way.

These attacks are no joke. I had the firewall turned off by accident a week ago, and sudenly my computer slowed down and I noticed the antivrus was off. while the firewall was down-about 5 minutes-someone had loaded a trojan horse on my computer that immediately started making copies of everything I did and trnsmitting it off to someone somewhere. it also launched a KILLAV bug that shut down my norton software. took me a couple hours to clean it up, and you have to watch carefully in case a sleeper has been loaded in there. So these aren't hoaxes or misreads-it's a serious attack.


You can set the sofware to allow your other networked computer to access the other one.

Where do you guys spend your time on the internet? I have had Norton Internet Security operating on my computer for over a year(not in right now) and I get those Trojan Back door 7 things too. But they are just scripts from web sites trying to get your computer info. I have never had a computer attack from a web site or email. What are you guys doing?

[JB Arnold]

Man, I've had that klez thing show up about 4 times today. And trust me, that trojan horse that got dropped on my computer as no laughing matter. Took a lot of work to clean, and Norton said they are REAL prevalent right now.
