Hi everyone, I just woke up this morning and found this same exact message on my computer from Norton anti virus program as posted by the original poster. It was an alert saying norton stopped an attempted attack on my computer.
The atempt was the same, and intrusion by Anonymous to the same path application \Device\Harddiskvolume2\program files\Internet Explorer\Iexplorer.exe
The attack comptuer was listed as anonymous with ip address 192.168.1.103 on tcp port 2793. I believe this is my own IP address. But i'm not sure, how do I find my own ip address? it looks familiar, but i don't know much about computers, but i think that is my ip address.
But the Attacker Url said www.adheadies.com/d/dl.php? fl=ea379b926c50e3f7c84277d228&fid=101&1=502737x6445<7x04=2x4x4x506
the Destination address said 88.80.7.152, 80
The Source Address was 192.168.1.103, 2793
It said Network traffic from Anonymous (ME) matches the signature of a known attack. To stop being notified about this attack in the Actions Panel click stop notifying me. Network traffic from www.adheadies.com/d/dl.php? fl=ea379b926c50e3f7c84277d228&fid=101&1=502737x6445<7x04=2x4x4x506 matches the signature of a known attack. To stop being notified about this attack in the Actions Panel click stop notifying me.
The Above is what I copied from the norton alert screen that was displayed on my computer. , I'm not suggesting anyone click on any links in this post, but I would like to know if anyone knows what this attack means?? I don't know allot about computers but it says Norton blocked the attack. But what is that address www.adheadies.com? and their ip is 88.80.7.152,
So I was wondering does that site have something to do with this attack? it must have because why is it mentioned in the advanced details in the norton message I got? this attack took place on 02/04/11 at 06:58:54. It was marked as high severity, but no action by me is required. It appears norton fixed the problem but I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of attack this was and by whom? this is exactly what the orinal creator of this thread posted had happend to them.
If anyone knows anything about what this means, how I can find my own ip address, and who www.adheadies.com are, I would like to hear some explanations. Thanks!!!
Dan
