[KCFusion] Messenger Ads (OT)
A while back there was something on the list about these stupid Messenger Service pop up ads. I looked in the archive but found nothing on them. Did anybody find a free way to stop them? They are coming in on the web server and I have put up with them for a while, now they are just making me angry... A.

Three words to stop these ads: FIREWALL, firewall, FireWall If you repect your site's content and your databases, get any kind of firewall and get it out there in front of your web servers.

Then you definitely have your firewall ports too loosely configured. Those messages come in on UDP ports 135, 137, and 138; TCP ports 135, 139, and 445, which should almost NEVER be opened up to the outside world on a Windows basedserver.

Your firewall should be blocking SMB and Netbios. Mark Kirkbride Senior LAN Administrator FBD Consulting, Inc.

RE: [KCFusion] Messenger Ads (OT)
Ironic you bring this up now. We've just started getting them recently. Turns out a defective firewall that was taken off line was not immediately replaced. We're trying to find a software firewall as a temporary fix, but the first two I tried (Tiny Personal Firewall and ZoneAlarm) both have problems. I'll be interested to see what others suggest to you.

RE: [KCFusion] Messenger Ads (OT)
A follow-up on this. We finally had to remove Tiny Personal Firewall from our FTP server. A pattern had developed where you would start downloading a file, about 200KB would download, then the server would crash with a blue screen and memory dump. I re-installed service pack 6a, the security rollup package, and the IIS4 cumulative patch. Same problem. So I removed TPF and now the download works OK. I'm curious if anyone cares to recommend a particular software firewall for a server?

RE: [KCFusion] Messenger Ads (OT)
Title: Message I use a 3Com modem at home, similar I am sure to what you have. You can probably restrict a range or individual. Likewise, you probably can tell it to restrict ALL but a certain set of them. 443 is the SSL port, 80 is http, 21 ftp, 22/23 are ssh i think. 1433 is SQL server. Try seeing if there is a way to restrict everything and then slowly open just the ports you need. Don't forget any ports for email (not sure which ports), AIM, ICQ, etc. Though you probably can lock these down until someone complains. At 03:24 PM 4/1/2003 -0600, you wrote:Our firewall (or so im told) is a linksys cable/dsl modem. It was set up by an outside contractor while I was still away at university. I can get in there and change the filters. At the moment it does not look to be filtering anything, but it only lets me filter a range of ports not individual ones. Am I safe blocking off UPD 135 through 138 and TCP 135 through 445?A.
