I keep getting this all the time from Kazpersky, is this an attacker or something because its worrying it keeps happening all the time.

Thanks
Willz.

Looks like an intrusion. As long as it is getting reported and blocked you should be fine.

Have you clicked on Details?

I did once but it never shown anything very informative.

I shouldn't be worried. Kaspersky is detecting it, which is a good thing, and presumably blocking it for you.

Ah good, this must highlight the need for a firewall then because I never use a firewall untill kaspersky.

Also when I scan with Ad-Aware SE It always come up with 160 odd entrys, I clear em all but couple days later they back, one is called dataminer :confused:

I have a router, netgear DG834G V3, I also did a port test and it shown all my ports to be stealth, guess that cant be the case.

At least I know the worm cant affect my PC running WXSP3 so I'm fine. What settings do I need to change in Opera?

Seems abit awkward that coz I keep my tabs open all the time and loads of cookies.
