My question is why am I getting the following message frequently from avast!?:

Network shield: blocked "LSASS Exploit (SXP)" - attack from 24.80.170.32:445/tcp

I have IE set to high security, and I usually work with Firefox. Does anyone know what's provoking these attacks? Is there a specific thing I should do to prevent the attacks from even occurring?

Thanks once again for your kind attention.

Welcome to the forum, here is the information on who tried to access your computer: http://whois.domaintools.com/24.80.170.32
As you can see whoever it is, is blacklisted. My feeling is that this was an attempt and they are happening all of the time but your security blocked it and reported it. I see no evidence of any malware in the HJT log? Are you experiencing any malware issues other that what is probably bots trying to find computers with open ports?
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-16,GGLG:en&q=port+445 I would say as long as these are only attempts and your security is safely blocking them, you are in good shape. If you want to do a port scan or two to see how you shape up:

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-16,GGLG:en&q=port+scans
I like Steve Gibson's site: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Does anyone know what's provoking these attacks? Most often anymore it is about the $$$. The hackers will do what they can to infect you if it will get them some.

It may have been that you missed these instructions:

The required antivirus online scan will show stuff HJT can't because of it's small size. If you are having no real malware issues, then I would say you are good to go and take this information with you.

Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

Thanks so much, pskelley, for taking the time to respond and for providing all those helpful links. I had no symptoms that made me feel the need to do an online scan - just the attack warning.

Once again, I'm very grateful that all you guys are out there helping us novices!:bigthumb:

(I will try to find a teacher and a soldier to thank as well. ;) )

I've looked at http://whois.domaintools.com/24.80.170.32 and it appears that my ISP is the culprit. Does this make sense? I've sent their admin the information. Perhaps I've misinterpreted the domaintools info, and it's a user on the same server as me. What do you think?

pskelley
2007-01-23, 02:18
Hummm...I would suggest to them they are shown under Blacklist Status: Currently Listed (history)
If it is your ISP then I am not surprised as information would be moving both ways on the computer from them. It would be worth your time to discuss it with them.

Thanks for the feedback...Phil

Thanks, Phil. I've sent the URL containing all that blacklist info to my ISP administrator to see what they make of it.

Hi Phil. I've been slowly working through Steve Gibson's advice (as time permits), and I've come to a point where there's no XP option. I see that his information was written in 2003 and I wonder how I should proceed. Under Network Bondage, he says "So choose the path you want to follow and we'll continue . . ." and then provides a 95/98 or NT option." Should I be following his instructions to the letter, assuming I use the 95/98 option?

You gave me some other sites to look at, but I thought I should work through Gibson first. I'm currently at the stage where I've unchecked Microsoft Networks client and File and Printer sharing. Should I proceed through the rest of his stuff, since does seem to be dated - or are those two access points the most important?

2007-01-29, 11:57
I posted the Steve Gibson site along with a lot of others on Google to give you tools to check for open port problems. I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish with the information. Keep in mind I deal with malware removal. I do note Steve's website has http://www.grc.com/support.htm and an email address there if you wish to ask specific questions.

I hope this help,

Thanks

Benzmum
2007-01-29, 22:07
OK, Phil - point taken. I'll email Steve Gibson about the fact that there's no mention of Windows XP in his options.
