GRC.COM is in trouble!
Recently upgraded to Win 2000 and BlackIce Defender 2.5 but have wondered why there have been few BlackIce attack warning beeps over last few days when on-line. So I did one of my periodic "IP_Agent.exe" checks at Steve Gibson's "Shields Up!" site on GRC.com.
His site is down; he's in trouble and, if you can wade through his long tirade, it would seem that a lot of us may eventually be in trouble too. His explanation is very technical and beyond me, however! Maybe there are others here who can understand it.
If you favour Zone Alarm to protect you from attacks from the Internet, don't feel complacent; there are problems there too.
But it's only Win 2000 and Win XP apparently. It's a code "fault" that Microsoft know about.
If you're afraid of viruses, this'll make you really paranoid. Perhaps it's the version of BlackIce that is the problem. It's working, but not as convicingly as before. Let's keep a listening watch.
