  Came home, all set on doing some "work" (please note that work to me is web development, the stuff I do during the day for my client is merely a distraction that pays the rent) to find my Internet access was blocked due to excessive Port 135 traffic.
This may be due to a worm being on your computer!!! So I've been directed to a page to perform an online scan of my system. My ISP has also blocked my Port 135 until I reconnect my Broadband connection. I don't run any anti-virus software, haven't for a while but as I'm a techie I can spot a virus a long way off.
My Windows XP machine is always up-to-date with the critical updates and I have ZoneAlarm and hardware based firewall protecting it from the outside world. So how did I get this worm? Sadly as I have around 400,000 files on this machine it's going to take a while to scan the machine but so far, after two hours and 250,000 files it hasn't found anything. I've got a feeling that it was my eMule that tripped their sensors but I'll have to wait for the scan to finish, for me to get a clean bill of health before I get the opportunity to lay into my ISP for being over-sensitive.
... I'm also amused by the Google Ads at the top of the page. You mention one word in a post and there they go, advertising bath products. Maybe I should pay more attention to the words that I write or maybe that's the way to fool them into showing other things.
I wonder what happens if I mention Mary Poppins, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Cor Blimey and Dick Van Dyke. What Ads will I get tomorrow?
