[drama]

[Heart Break Kid]

Install a firewall, to stop intrusions.

Heres a good free one, with exellent reviews, and eazy to install

Hope this helps

[MrCraig]

It could just be a DDOS?

Nothing too extreme, Just slows down/crashes your comp.
Get a firewall :)

Do you even know what C:\System32 is?

Its the whole of the operating system, how can it be that?

It depends if your being hacked or not, could you tell me what you were doing before that message and any recently downloaded files (including there extention e.g file.exe, file.zip, file.rar, file.bat, file.dll)

Thanks

[Heart Break Kid]

lol no downloads... but i was looking at a mynt lasses myspace prfoile pics
ive known her for years she lives down the road from meh
anyway nout bads happened so far
and no i havent been on all day X-D
i at least went of for 3 seconds :)

Do you use BullGuard as your antivirus/firewall?

If so, this is a common occurance with port scans and stuff. Their new version 8 is too high tech.

[habtasia]

Yes, that could be a point

Ok, Next possible solution: Are you wired up (via Ethernet) to a router which has wireless enabled with no WEP Ecryption or have you connected wirelessly to the internet?

[Heart Break Kid]

ya
also my comp went into a default profile a few weeks ago so i cant do much
only this skysports mfc.co.uk and caws.ws
but i never got the wifi to work :(

I agree, I deleted mine long ago just to speed up my computer abit. It does nothing apart from ruin it :S

Are you serious? That sounds more like an advert script than anything else, no firewall would word anything like that. Get comodo firewall anyway as your version of Commonsense may be out of date (2008 B4 is the newest version). :rolleyes:

[habtasia]

Hmmm, It is a tough decision to say, but i think i will have to go with you are not being hacked, its somthing to do with the default profile or yes it may be an advertisment script

Thanks, Josh

[Heart Break Kid]

aye must be my mam said its ok and probz just the cokkies thing
either way 1 day and a half later nout bads happened

[e5]

Seriously, you haven't got a firewall? lmao. You shouldn't even touch a website without a firewall! Get one asap.

[Heart Break Kid]

i do have a firewall :P
btw i would rep the ones i havent but cant give out more rep too much in the last 24 hours

[e5]

Oh right, good lol.

Erm, have you ran some security programs recently to check if you do have anything nasty on your computer?

[Heart Break Kid]

lol nah not yet :P
cba X-D

[e5]

You seemed to be panacking when asking for help but now you can't be bothered to check for the problems? :/

[Heart Break Kid]

this was yesterday look at the date >.<
and cos nout has happened so far im in no urgent need to check because all ill get is a blue error screen repeatedly

The chances of somebody targeting a teenager is improbable. Hackers go after big organisations. Although, people also hack to get revenge.

[Heart Break Kid]

they also hack to get accounts
email
myspace
habbo
runescape
WoW
etc

[Stephen!]

Hacking email accounts is one thing, hacking your operating system is another.

It's probably just a virus/spyware or something trying to scare you.

[Heart Break Kid]

aye more dan likely :S
