I have no clue if this is the right section to ask this question in, so forgive me if it's not. We have windows xp, on a cable modem, and i go into chatrooms quite often. the problem started when a friend of mine was using a ip tracker and a booter in the chatroom i frequent. he told me, my ip addy and name showed up (on his tracker) as booting people from the room. i have no booter, so i assumed someone figured my password out and was using my ip. i changed my password, and went to buy a new firewall/anti virus/anti spy program. I bought, defender pro 2009. after i hooked it up, it detected spyware, but no viruses. i went into the chatroom, thinking with windows firewall and an extra firewall running, i would be safe. well, the same guy, (know now doesn't believe i don't have a booter) told me, my ip is booting. then, my firewall detector pops up with, Intrusion.Win.MSSQL.worm.Helkern. i am completely computer dumb, so i looked it up. it says that modem users, don't usually get thoughs. then today, OUT of chat, jusy on the internet, i get 3/1/2009 3:15:30 PM Intrusion.Win.MSSQL.worm.Helkern 61.153.58.189 UDP 1434
3/1/2009 4:16:38 PM Intrusion.Win.MSSQL.worm.Helkern 59.173.247.106 UDP 1434
TWO MORE!!! my firewall says it's blocked them coming in, but i'm wondering, is this from a program i downloaded or is an actual person trying to get into my pc, and if so, how much of that worm can sneak behind my firewall? i appreciate any help anyone can offer. thank you!
