I have firewall , Norton AntiVirus (updated everyday). The thing is , I get like these popup messageboxes 2 to 5 times a day from different companies including MS . MS claims that I have security hole and I have to download a patch from windowspatch or something like that . Last messagebox was this , see below .
1-Does this mean my machine isn't really secured even with these programs ??
2-Isn't so easy to hack or infect my machine ??
3-Do you have this issue ??
:(
Start > Run...
services.msc <Enter>
Look for the MEssenger service, and disable it completely. (And no, it has nothing to do with MSN Messenger)
Not sure if this will stop them spamming :ehh: but you seem to be quite sure this time . Hope it really works this time so I can add [Resolved by mendhak ] tag , plus 5 stars ;)
You can go ahead and do that right now, because here it is, from the horse's mouth. :afrog:
It will.Quote:

Huh, I've never encountered that at all, and it's running on my machine.

I also disabled that messenger thingy.
I decided to enable MBRWiper, CovertNetSessionInitialiser, and RemoteUploadUserInfo services. I like the names and I wanted to see what they would do.
Anyway, gotta go reboot now cos I just got a message saying so.
:D
Aaaw :( or maybe... my computer network is just that damn good and secure ;)Quote:
