We were able fight off our hacker by turning on our xp
firewall! so simple right? maybe not...

we found the our hacker couldn't find us as fast in msn
explorer as they could we use ie... we had 4 min as
opposed too 1 min...

next we brought up task manager with ctrl. alt. del and
ended on:
(NOTE, THIS LIST IS NOT EXCLUSIVE, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ANY
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY)
MSBlast.exe
rpc.exe
rpctest.exe
dcomx.exe
lolx.exe
worm.exe

We tried to be as effeceint as possible we set our home
page to go directly to the patch

xp firewall
control panel> network contections> right click on
explorer connection> properties> far right tab> (advanced)
check enable firewall
Click to expand...

after you turn on your xp firewall then connect and
download patch at new hompage!!!

good luck...I hope this is useful! Rainie
 
My ISP software wont allow me to use the firewall that comes with XP home
edition.
Are there any others that would be as sufficient?
Thanks in advance.
