Hey guys

[Free Styler]

Well maybe you've notice me getting a bit fed up.I'll tell you the reason, i got hack 2 times sucessfully.My BIOS settings are all screwed up.I just got my computer fixed 2 weeks ago.And now it's not running very well.I did a performance tune up wizard test and it told me my Bios got change.Memory and all are all messet up.Not being the best in that sort of stuff because i never actully check in to it .I personnaly think that suck.Had to reinstall serious sam whit that and i got hack playing this game in the first place wich is kinda suck to be honest.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Damn that blows man. I didn't know they could dick with your bios. Come play UT2003 with us.

[MR. SLiK]

Get PC-Cillin 2002. It comes with a personal firewall. You wouldnt belive how many times it blocks things. I even blocked a "SYN Flooding" attempt today. The rest is the infamous NetBIOS Browsing. Also use http://housecall.antivirus.com to scan your system.

[Free Styler]

Well heres my question not knowing anything about this anyhows.Why does it tell me i have been hack and then says my memory is not running at best capacity.When it was 2 week ago.anyways i pretty much think any person whit enought knowledge about computers can crack anything.And once utk3 gets out here i'll buy it.And then i'll go and play.

[Free Styler]

thanks slik i'll go check that out

[SALvation]

Forget software. Go buy a router. Now.

After that install Norton 2002.

A router will prevent anyone from even getting close to your PC. Software will just try to block access but it can't catch everything. A router hides your computer from the Internet. If you can't buy a router now, download ZoneAlarm from www.download.com. That is the best firewall software.

[Dan2]

Norton+ZoneAlarm=No Hacking.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Damn. Glad I got a router.

[Free Styler]

Well thanks for the advice.I'll check in to it.

Go to the address below and test your system. Click on shields up and then click test my shields or probe ports. This will give you some idea of your security. Do both tests .

Damn, that sux FS :( Hope you resolve it soon...

[Free Styler]

Preliminary Internet connection established!
Your computer has accepted an anonymous connection from another machine it knows nothing about! (That's not good.) This ShieldsUP! web server has been permitted to connect to your computer's highly insecure NetBIOS File and Printer Sharing port (139). Subsequent tests conducted on this page, and elsewhere on this website, will probe more deeply to determine the extent of this system's vulnerability. But regardless of what more is determined, the presence and availability of some form of Internet Server HAS BEEN CONFIRMED within this machine . . . and it is accepting anonymous connections!

NOT GOOD :?

[Nobody]

Nope that is not good FS :( . You need a firewall of some kind. The free zone zlarm will do if you can't buy a router. That website even recommends it as a good software firewall and rates it better than Norton's and it is free. It is not as easy to set up as the router but I hear it is not too bad. Someone may be able to help you with it if you have problems. I haven't used a software firewall in ages so I am useless.

[Free Styler]

BtW thanks nobody .Even tho i failed at least i know i need better security.

[Mr Clean]

Hey Sal, does brand matter with a router? Any recommendations out there?

[Free Styler]

ya i'll take that program and try and install it.You know the reason i haven't put better security is because i've mostly been playing this game ever since i got my computer.1Week after i got my puter i was playing serious sam.So i haven't learned crap about these things.I'll really have to check that out and start learning a few things .

Linksys BEFSR41 is a very good home router. It has a 4port/switch built in and it only costs 50-60 bucks here in the states.

Freestyler you are welcome :lol:
