is this a bug or something i should be concerned about?

I keep getting a message popping up from network shield 4.7-892 saying that it’s blocked a DCOM exploit. Should I be concerned that someone is trying to ahck into my computer or is this some sort of bug?

I’m not particularly familiar with the windows OS so I really don’t have any idea what this message means and if I need to take additional measures. That’s why I am posting about what is probably the normal functionality of the program.

Hi Doggiedoodle,

The forum has a search feature: enter ‘DCOM exploit’ and you’ll find a wealth of information, including this post:
