Recently I changed my internet service provider and I was given a new IP address and wireless connection. Ever since then I keep getting alerts from the Network shield: DCOM Exploit from 114.73.34.69:135 and DCOM Exploit attack from 122.110.3.38:135. How can I resolve this problem.??
This IP belongs to optusnet.com.au, is that your ISP ?
If so report this to your ISP ask them if they use port 135 for anything legit.
It could be that one of their users system is infected and that tries using other optusnet.com.au IPs to infect other out of date systems. Or it could just be randomly generated IP address attacks.
However, these are speculative attacks (which you are relatively immune if your OS is up to date) and if your firewall was it to it then it would block these and not the network shield. What is your firewall.
My firewall is: Comodo firewall(3.5.57173.439) and i haven’t changed any options after chaning my ISP.
That is strange as I would have expected the comodo firewall to intercept that inbound connection attempt, mind you I don’t know if it would actually recognise that it was a DCOM exploit attempt, which the network shield is able to recognise.
You didn’t say if my guess on your ISP was correct ?
The problem is that these attacks are speculative and could come from anywhere, but commonly it is from another person with an account at your ISP and their infected system just randomly generates IP addresses in the hope of a) getting through a firewall and b) that the PC at that IP address has an out of date OS that is vulnerable to the exploit.
As I said if you haven’t reported this to your ISP support you should and see if they can monitor your IP to see where the attacks are coming from. The IP address is assigned dynamically, as your IP would change when you connect, so you specifically aren’t being selected.
