Frustrations & Internet & Windows Daantje on 12 Aug 2003

Why a firewall?

UPDATED 13 aug 2003! Removal tool is available for ‘Blaster’ worm! My brother and some friends just called me today, they are running Windows XP and there computer is shutting down out of the blue… They get a count down box and the computer is shutting down when it’s to 0. Now I did some research… It’s a worm named ‘blaster’. You should activate or install a firewall! Look here for more info and the worm removal tools: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.aspI think those worms and virruses are a great thing. Why? Because I think it’s the only way to force you to think about your security and the developers about there source code, architecture and fast bug fixes! Don’t be a sheep! Think it trough when your installing or downloading something! Is it tested right? What security issues can be found at google? What is the reputation of the software? Did YOU read the manual??
