Big Favour Needed

(provided the mods let this post stand)

Anyone from ntl able to tell me who operates this number?

0871 550 6800

And please don't dial it to find out what it's for, it's a number being promoted by a spammer.

All leads treated in the strictest of confidence.

Check what you've enabled to get through the firewall.

Also run something like adaware.

tridens · 08-07-2003, 01:37

ive used adaware also a norton antivirus scan all came back ok

ntlrebel · 08-07-2003, 01:43

Sounds very much like port scanning to me.

tridens · 08-07-2003, 02:12

sorry whats that how can i block it
thanks

ntlrebel · 08-07-2003, 02:17

Basically they run a random search of available ip's. When they find an ip they then run a program that checks for open ports. Once one is found they use that to make the pop appear. Nott 100% sure how it works, but if you run a search in google for port scanning software you can download it you pc and check what ports you have open.

You need a Firewall matey, Zone Alarm do one for free

Or you can buy one such as Norton Firewall.
