Hacking
I recently reinstalled win2000 pro on my home machine. 1 day after it was installed i still hadn't installed my firewall. I noticed that within that period i had had my IIS hacked and replaced with webpages all saying
(excuse me if this breaks forum rules ifso please change/ edit)
"**** the US Government"
etc etc
I had been hacked by this before once. Anyone know the history to this?
Having installed Norton's firewall software i noticed a HUGE amount of people trying to access me with the Sub seven backdoor trojan. Norton anti-virus hasn't picked up on it.
Why do people do these things? They obviously have good computing knowledge that could benefit society if used properly. People like this are real scum. I also noticed someone had hacked my PC again (prior to installing firewall) My PC was constantly running at 100% CPU usage!! Even with nothing running. This was somthing to do with a programme called firedaemon.exe
I managed to remove this programme which had set itself up as a service to just kill my CPU.
am i just unlucky having this happen to me all the time???
How do these things get onto my computer?
How can i best improve my PC's security? I have a Cable connection which updates a new IP every few hours/days.
Apologies for language used and if this is the wrong place to post but i feel it is a security issue.
