Yes, the XP version. I already chastised him for that faux pax. He replied that the guy who sold him the satellite system said it would be adequate. I offered to go find the guy and.... Ummm... rectify the situation. ;-) Brent "Jeff Shultz" <jeffshultz@wvi.com> Sent by: owner-nanog@merit.edu 06/21/2004 01:55 PM Please respond to "Jeff Shultz" To: nanog@merit.edu cc: Subject: Re: Interesting Occurrence ** Reply to message from Brent_OKeeffe@asc.aon.com on Mon, 21 Jun 2004 12:44:50 -0500

Okay... Here is a new one for me. Got a call from my dad saying he left

his PC on last night connected to his broadband. He went to log in this

morning and noticed a new ID in his user list - IWAP_WWW. He immediately deleted is and called me. I had him ensure his critical updates we all applied - they were. I had him ensure his antivirus was up to date - it

was (Norton Antivirus 2004). He is running XP Home.

I searched the antivirus sites and elsewhere for references. Any idea if there is a new vulnerability that has not been publicly released? Any clues?

Regards, Brent

Out of curiosity, was he running any sort of (including the XP one) of firewall software? -- Jeff Shultz A railfan pulls up to a RR crossing hoping that there will be a train.
