Lately it seems that every time I log on to CM I go through about a fifteen minute period where my computer is deluged with virus attacks. Primarily it's the Opaserv worm. Is anybody else experiencing this?

Not me, either. I am running Firefox 1.0 with Windows XP.

Uhm...

I'm confused. If your computer is up to date, and you've got a firewall, how is it you're even seeing the attacks?

My software tells me when it detects something trying to get in.

Here is a few fixes Johnny:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FixOpsrv.exe
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS00-072.asp
http://www.pcmightymax.net/cgi-bin/view.cgi/google57/download.html?exe_variable
http://www.spyware-virus-scan.com/

Here is a site that anyone can go to in order to learn more about vulnerabilities:

FixOpsrv.exe is digitally signed. Symantec recommends that you use only copies of FixOpsrv.exe that were downloaded directly from the Symantec Security Response Web site. To check the authenticity of the digital signature, follow these steps:
Go to http://www.wmsoftware.com/free.htm.
Download and save the Chktrust.exe file to the same folder in which you saved FixOpsrv.exe (for example, C:\Downloads).
Depending on your operating system, do one of the following:
Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.
Click Start, point to Programs, click Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
Change to the directory in which FixOpsrv.exe and Chktrust.exe are stored, and then type:

chktrust -i FixOpsrv.exe

For example, if you saved the file to the C:\Downloads folder, you would enter the following commands, pressing Enter after you type each command:

cd\
cd downloads
chktrust -i FixOpsrv.exe

If the digital signature is valid, you will see the following:

Thanks, Dread. Luckily I haven't been infected but there is certainly an issue somewhere in my connection path. Someone isn't watching their server.
