CTW Members switched_on Posted August 11, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted August 11, 2003 Indeed Cept mine looks funkier than that, a mate pasted it to me hehe. As was said before, a good, up-to-date, firewall or router should fend em off no problem Though i would recommend avoiding MS XP Firewall, as the systems affected are MS systems Quote Calling all crusaders of the dance floor in green light mode MSN: switch_on_ctw@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTW Members Technikal Posted August 11, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted August 11, 2003 OK I HAVE THE FIX!!! If you are running Windows XP grab this file: http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.a...;displaylang=en If you don't have time to install it then a friend of mine advises to start up in Safe mode WITHOUT network support and run it then. It only worked for me in normal Windows mode though. [censored] MS. Got some explaining to do!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTW Members Scream Posted August 11, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted August 11, 2003 i think this could be a string fired at the pc to cause it to crash. the question is what port is this coming in on. I think some data capture needs to be set up. I'm gonna have a field day at work tomorrow with all our clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
