Avast! under attack yet no logged events
      #398422 - Mon Jun 23 2008 08:45 PM

My Avast! Network Shield/ On-Access Scanner is as I post this. Under a constant bombardment from somewhere
The IP number given is 92,4 .xxx.xxx:xxx (Is different every time!) Avast! Says its carrying the DCOM-EXPLOIT signature and there are 2 further Complications..
Firstly The Avast Network shield is Not Logging these Hits
2ndly My McAfee Firewall was is also registering no abnormal activity

Last Hit record came from Manchester!(Different IP Number)

Can anyone explain what may be happening? I was expecting an email from Manchester today (But thats coming via AOL) This is outside that System Having hits every Minute

Thanks Joe

I have now switched the Messages off. Can't be Bothered locating the source..
Did see this link within those posts as an aid to get rid of this pest ,which is already been protected against a few years ago
www.grc.com/freeware/dcom.htm

EDIT That link is not working
Use this secure link instead https://www.grc.com/freeware/dcom.htm and I have disabled this to see if there is any change? (Have to do a reset!)
