    Wink This is really dangerous, isn't ?[I'm proud of The Frog]

    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)

    You can go ahead and do that right now, because here it is, from the horse's mouth.

    Huh, I've never encountered that at all, and it's running on my machine.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    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.

    I don't live here any more.
