After Mcaffee, Trend and now finally Norton discovered 11 viruses.
These viruses act like the w32/blaster virus and hide in the system restore partion of of XP/2000 OS.
The reason why this only affected Overnet and not my other P2P sharing apps was because the virus was embedded into Overnet Crack.dat and the named BAT.Trojan.
Point being is that this was specifically targeted for Overnet users who used the upload crack.
And that is messed up.
It was so hard getting rid of the virus that I had to use the Symantec Wiping tool just to delete it because deleting and emptying the recycle bin wasn't getting rid of files.
Furthermore, once I log into Overnet, all sort of attacks start. Blaster attack from TFTP on port 2000 something, IRC port attack, etc.
You can not use Overnet safely without heavy firewalling and when I only open port 4662 and 6440, my downloads are at a crawl.
So, I'm wondering...
1) how can I open my firewall to point where I can download at the same rate as before?
2) why 4662 and 6440 specifically?
