Hi All!
My laptoposaurus had the McAfee virus checker on board. It was 28 months put of date :rolleyes: so I decided to update it - it loaded the files, installed, rebooted and the system went haywire!!:eek:
So I eventually managed to boot windoze into 'safe'mode, and deleted the Mcafee.
But that left me without a virus checker.... :eek:
A quick search on google led me to the Zone alarm program. Decided to give it a go, downloaded, installed - seems to be excellent!! :cool:
Looks like 3 peeps tried to hack into my computer last night :eek: - I have the IP addresses, but is there any way of tracking them? Finding out who these peeps are, where they come from etc?
Sorry if this has been done nefore, but cant seem to find anything!
