I don't know how many of you actually have a program that detects this stuff, but I'm running Norton Internet Security 2003 and whenever an "attack" comes in, it gives me a security alert and details on the attackers IP address and location. 8 times out of 10 the description is a Backdoor Sub-Seven Trojan Horse and it's listed as high risk.
Normally I get maybe 1 or 2 a day depending on how long I'm on, but the past two days have been non stop attacks from all over the world. I'd say at least 10-20 each day. I'm thinking it may have something to do with this Blaster worm that's going around.
I'm just curious if any of you are experiencing this lately and if you know how to cut down on the frequency. I know the program is stopping them now, but how long will it be before they find a way past it and into my system.
