Trojan Attempt

[USmarinex]

When Logging in to the server, there was an attempt on my computer from a trojan known as Master's Paradise. I have no idea why anyone would want to make an attempt to hack me or install a backdoor, but I just thought i would notify you incase anyone else had similar problems.

We're looking into this immediately.

We have like this advanced stuff always running called antivirus/antispyware. Matter of fact, we have at least 2 on at any time. And recent scans are clean.

So, either you're unaware of how virii work (and how things can appear to be from other sources, just cuz something hijacked a process, connection or infected YOUR exe on your system), or else you're trolling to drum up drama. Try running AV stuffs on your pc and chant about flowers and calm.

For the rest of the world: false alarm.

This was brought up on the live servers as well.  Anyone not computer/tech/antivirus savy would probably have thought just what the original poster thought.  As stated in another thread about a similar issue, "Norton doesn't deal with UDP protocols very well, it panics" or simply put, Norton is overly sensitive.  :keke:

Personal and home level firewalls have been dumbed down to the point that they are user friendly and they assume a lot of things about the packets that are transfered between your PC applications and the internet. They have to be.

Average Joe User has has the ability to handle a check box, but it takes a lot of knowledge to properly configure a firewall that is considered commercial level.

As an example:

Norton Firewall - click box to allow access to the internet

Cisco Pix 501 firewall

names

name XXXXXXXXXX
access-list outside_access_in permit icmp any any
access-list inside_outbound_nat0_acl permit ip XXX.XXX.X.X 255.255.255.0 XXXXXXX 255.255.255.0
access-list outside_cryptomap_20 permit ip XXX.XXX.X.X 255.255.255.0 XXXXXXXXX 255.255.255.0

Lots more of cryptic instruction here to complete configuration
