trojan

[Jumby]

I have a cable modem which is great, except that I constantly get the flashing "!" warning of the Sub Seven Trojan. Is there any way I can stop the constant warning from happening? I use Norton Firewall 2001.

this warning is telling you that you have a sub7 trojan and will keep telling you until you address the problem.

It is doing what it is supposed to do: Warning you.

what you need to do is find out (try google (http://www.google.com), to find out what steps you need to take to get rid of this sub7.

it is a backdoor into your system that can be used for many things.

get rid of it.

additionally: I would strongly advise you to disable your norton (excuse for a firewall) and get the FREE zonealarm one.

if you had zonealarm, you would not be having this problem because ZA would not have allowed it to have access to whatever port it initially got to, to enter your machine.

oh, and zonealrm has an anylizer that can tell you exactly where/who this sub7 {{attempt}} came from..........

basically, at this point, you have been scanned, and targeted as an "open source" for all kinds of not too nice things.


not trying to alarm you too much, but I would be if one was in my pc.

Norton Firewall is blocking the Trojan. It just keeps telling me it's doing it each time, and I have to click the exclamation mark and acknowledge it.

Like Sea said, you might want to get rid of it ASAP. Trojans are usually a mere nuisance, but, if you got SubSeven 2.1 Gold, whoever knows you have it can do anyhting to your PC that you can do, it has a keylogger and can also get cached p-words etc.
I do have to say that Norton is the best at something though, hogging resources. (Sorry, cheap shot, just trying to pursuade you to get ZA like Sea said http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif )

if this an obvious attack by an individual, then tracert them and email the ISP of the machine sending it.

usually abuse@(name of isp)...... will be the email addy.

hehe kaos is right I am trying to get you to use ZA, it has a trace, and email example templates just for this type of attack.
