Firewall Alert for Virus !

Hi , today I got a message from my firewall which was saying that this port number is trying to attack and also gave me an IP address. I am not sure if I can post the IP address here. But the name of the site that I detected from the IP was Steadfast Networks which is a web hosting Service Provider . Can someone tell me whats happening and why I am getting that message ?? 😕

Hi Ishan Dear

According To Me If Your Firewall Alert Says Something Like

1) An Instruction Attempt by xxx.xx.xx.x Was Blocked

2) A Recent Attempt To Attack Your Computer Is Blocked

Then You Do Not Have To Even Think Off it As Your Firewall Is At It's Best Level Which Blocked That Attack.

Yeah lol it was the same message u stated !!! But wat i want to ask is if there is any virus on I-F ? Coz i keep getting these messages sometimes.

No Dear

Glad to hear u have good firewall that blocked the hacker attack coz once they can then they sleathly put in keyloggers in system somewhere with backdoor access using admi privilege or can do anything n that would b total breige of privacy n ppl who do such thing have no morals nor ethics will marinate to spy like losers. Keep way from viruses n doubtful websites, b safe.. I been thru that terror hacker attacks..

Hey,

First of all I would like to say that I never faced this problem and there has been no "Virus Alert" or "Hack Alert".

The best way to ensure that you do not get infected follow this:

a) Get a Good anti-virus + firewall (I am using McAfee and have not found any problem with it)

b) Use a genuine Operating System and if you are using Windows then regularly use "windows update" to apply all the latest Security Patches. I am using Windows 7 Professional and Windows XP on another and I am happy with both.

c) As someone mentioned above that dont visit doubtful sites. I do not know about the external links that are posted on India-Forums so just be a bit more cautious when you surf such site. As far as India-Forums is concerned all the ads are served from Google Admanager and all the ad networks are reputable agencies.

Incase if you still face any problem on any of the links which you feel is dangerous please let us know so that our team can investigate on the same and a screenshot with the Alert message will be of great help.

Cheers,
Vijay
