So, who the **** is sending me these ******* viruses all the ******* time?
I want to ****** know cos I'm ******* sick and tired of it!
Please xcuse my french but this is the fourth time since I became moderator in here. (Starting to wonder if it's worth it)!
And YES!!! I have anti virus on auto update, but there is a sneaky little bugger somewhere out there who has found a way around it, straight in to my, yet again, x PC.

Yeah, I guess that is an option.
My main point is basically the fact that some idiot somewhere finds this amusing. If I ever find out who he/she is there will be a BIG bill in their mail.

@tranquil
If this is such a problem, maybe you should look into investing in a firewall/NAT

Get a hardwere firewall and divert all ports to 0.0.0.0 so anyone else you is tying to ping you thinks that this ip is dead

@Tranquil,do you really need to leave your email on show at Esato?
I did that when i first joined,in less than a month i had virus's sent to my email that was on show so i removed it...........never had any dodgy email sent to me since,just a thought 
If nobody wants it.. put it on eBay. |

Assuming that the little bugger is exploiting a security vulnerability in your XP, you should have all MS updates installed. I very much doubt the fact that he/she has come up with something new, so that vulnerability has most likely already been addressed.

It's not necessarily some1 sending to your email coz they found it on esato. It could be listed in so many other places. (do a google search for your address and delete it wherever it shows up)
Also, as mentioned, install all MS updates.
I'll post a link to an online virus scan as well (hafta look it up 1st)
Oh yeah and do delete your email address from your profile, I did that too after a vast amount of dodgy emails, never got another one)

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 indicates a default route in the routing table, not a good idea to "divert" all traffic there. And blocking all traffic (if that's what you are trying to get to) will leave the PC unable to communicate - might as well just pull out the network cable then, you'll get the same result.
If you want to block the ICMP PING request, simply close TCP port 7 and UDP port 7.
MS Updates are notorious for intruducing more bugs then they fix, but it's (usually) a good idea to install them anyway.
If you don't know much about firewall configuration, I'd recommend a software firewall rather then hardware. It is much easier to set up, and you can configure it as you go.
Symantec Internet Security is a firewall + antivirus package which is very capable and easy to use. If you have a perminent internet connection I would definetly recommend that.

 Yes.. maybe if you diverted all incoming ICMP..
But at least in D-Link routers, there´s a lazy mans solution in the setup program that simply ask you if you want your box to respond to ping or not.

No, seriously...
I am gonna delete EVERYTHING on the hard disk, total clanup, and start all over again.
The virus has not come throug e-mail, it's just lying there on my IP... waiting for me to go on to internet to visiouly attack my birthday present.
I'm so fed up with all these low life brats who play tuff hiding behind a PC somewhere.

@tranquil
If that's the case, you should install a firewall before connecting to the internet for the first time (after you clean out the PC). Good luck

"It is easy to be brave from a safe distance"

it could be anywhere

try that before you do anything though.. see which ports on your PC are open.. and if possible.. close em!

By the way, what makes you think there is a virus, and what virus is it? You might be able to kill it without erasing everything.
