Sniffy 1 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 If Norton says it's a worm, it's a worm. If you're not sure, contact them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boen_robot 107 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Is there actually a problem here? Norton Internet Worm Protector has detected and blocked an intrusion attempt.What are you worried about? You're safe, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
justsomeguy 1,135 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 It looks like the worm is already installed and is sending a loopback request (127.0.0.1), or maybe a connection from the worm to an IRC server or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, even if it is, it's blocked . If it's IRC, well... I personally hate IRC not only of it's BIG security gaps, but also for it's complex interface and command lines.

tyler 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Worms: Worms are destructive viruses that carry out orders and mutlply very fast, they spread out and destroy any dll and exe extensions. They go for the kill as I always say.Trojans: or rats most of the time the trojan has grown populer over the years because the user can control the romoetly accesed computer and can reak havak themselvesViruses:Simileir to the Worm but more precice the virus is usally programed to go and destroy one thing that its programed to do. More or less it's on a mission. Most viruses are created by the user and programed for specif orders.All of these are very bad but the Rat is the funnest if your using it. I used one on my freind and turned his start button to say Happy Birthday!!!!! Lmao he was like turn it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
justsomeguy 1,135 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Viruses require a host file to be infected in order to spread, worms do not. Trojans piggy back on some application that itself is harmless. The distinction is in how they spread, not in what they do.http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.n...b2?OpenDocument Quote Link to post Share on other sites

justsomeguy 1,135 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 A computer virus is not an organism, it is software. What makes it a virus vs a worm or a trojan is how it propagates itself. A virus spreads through an infected file that somehow gets on another system and gets executed, like a boot sector virus. A worm spreads remotely without needing a host file, like an IM worm that spreads through a flaw in IM software or through a flaw in IE. A trojan sits on top of a normal harmless file and gets executed when the host file gets executed, hence the name Trojan Horse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
