Plus is there to be a sheild on top of the a that turns around . And I do I have it on thorugh scan . Last question do those icons on Access Protection Control do I have to do anything to them I use Mirc and MSN Messanger Plus Outlook Express 6. I thank you for your help

Oh, i didn’t understand you well, do you ask what that warning message means? Network shield is a new feature od avast (3rd paragraph here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=11;action=display;threadid=8033). It says, DCOM exploit “attacked” you from 69.135.214.81 on your port 135 (e.g. Blaster virus), full report is localized in \program files\alwil software\avast4\data\reports (called nshield.log).

That IP adress can’t be yours, it’s a remote address - where the attack comes from.

Damn, this is your 2nd topic: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=8639
