Under Attack
« on: May 31, 2007, 05:52:25 PM »
Today I was attacked by an IP spammer purportedly from Norway or Netherlands. I was wondering why I couldn't connect to the Internet using Internet Explorer and Opera browsers. My Yahoo Messenger came to a halt also. But my Firefox browser was running perfectly.

I was thinking hard what I had done an hour or two ago that could have caused the abnormality of my Internet connection. Then I uninstalled one program from my computer. That did not solve the problem.

I looked at my Internet configuration and there I found out that all the default settings of my Internet connection have been illegally changed. My default IPs and Ports were maneuvered. So I fought back and changed what had been tinkered. Then my Internet connection started to run normal again.

Lesson: Firefox remains a secure and safe browser. Robots and other malicious programs failed to invade Firefox.

Recommendation: Use Firefox. It's safe. It's faster. It's worry-free. Download Firefox from www.mozilla.org

And the good thing is that Firefox is an open source browser .... Am not against Microsoft per se as an epitome of innovation in software. But am vehemently objecting to their monopolisic vent in their business model that curtails competition.

Its good that the Philippines is keen to adopt FOSS. Well, for economic reasons!

windows IE works perfectly fine for me.. what you need is a good virus scanner. it is also good to format your hardrive once in a while to get rid of viruses and malwares..

the best thing to do? replace the user... hehe joke!

much better if you have multiple layer of security, so acquire safefox! i mean firefox! ;D then some other firewall software besides Micro$oft.

and also make sure that you're not locked up by your own security system.   ;)
