Hey guys, I know this kind of thread doesn't belong in the Maw, but Flood regulars can't be trusted with good replies. And plus, this concerns my gaming as well, so this probably belongs here, I don't know.
Anyways, ever since yesterday, I've been getting these suspicious network attacks. Yesterday was the day I got my cable modem all set to go, got it installed, now I have Road Runner highspeed internet (I had to disable my internet server, which used to be Verizon Online DSL before I moved). So I have my internet connection, but while I'm surfing the web or IMing some of my friends, every 5-20 minutes or so, I get a network attack. Fortunately for me, my Kaspersky Anti-Virus Software repells every one of these annoying attacks (I've gotten around 15+ attacks starting yesterday, and now I've gotten 3 more this morning while I'm hanging around the Maw. It's good that my anti-virus software is killing every one of these intruders, but I don't feel very safe with this siege going on. Something or someone is trying to attack my computer through the internet, but I have no clue where the source is. I haven't downloaded any wierd or suspicious stuff over the past 24 hours, and I certainly haven't been talking to any intelligent hackers on the internet, or surfed up -blam!- sites.
Also, this ruins my gaming experience. While I was playing Halo multiplayer for the first time in months last night, these attacks come here and there, and forces my full screen game to minimize (the attacks come in messages, stating that my anti-virus software had repelled the attacks).
Anyways, I was wondering if any of you guys can help me. If you need to know what kind of attacks, here they are:
Intrusion.Win.Messanger.exploit from address 24.174.252.100
Another kind of attack I've been getting is:
Intrusion.Win.MSSQL.worm.Helkern from address 58.89.76.97
Please, if anyone knows anything about these certain attacks, and how I can prevent them, and where I can find the source of them, it would be highly appreciated if you guys can help me out. Also as a side-note, the addresses I've written down can vary, so I'm assuming there are multiple sources of attacks. Please, help me out here. Thank you for any knid of help you can give me.
