I keep getting this thing from Avast that says 'DCOM exploit attack' from 24.108.7.14:135 Does anyone know what this is and how I can stop it?

I don't know but my screen keeps vibrating every once in a while. Then a new window opens up with some stupid popup. Im running maywarebytes anti malware right now. I have had much success with this program in the past. Better then spybot or adaware.
I found a picture... Different ip address or whatever the number is.
Thanks.
DSO exploit is a hole in Microsoft's security that can be exploited, and Network Shield is a sort of lightweight firewall that monitors a couple of known ports to be used by Interent Worms. It displays DCOM Exploit when it picks up worm activity on these ports.
It says it's blocked. Does that mean I've nothing to worry about?
You've always got to worry about insubstantial posts from vast.
Is there anything I can do to protect myself from that?
Slap him around until he puts you on bozo, then he becomes somebody elses problem....
Lol okay.
guy on this web site offers a DCOMbobulator - nice tool, takes a few minutes to use ... http://www.grc.com/freeware/dcom.htm - I use his site to help set base line security on every new puter ...
