According to this article, which discusses a TCP flaw that will be revealed on Thursday. Not sure how reliable this analysis is, but if its a problem, its gotta be fixed. Please plan accordingly.
``Any flaw to a fundamental protocol would raise significant concern and require significant attention by the folks who run the major infrastructures of the Internet,'' said Amit Yoran, the U.S. government's cybersecurity chief. The new flaw has dominated discussions since last week among experts in close-knit security circles.
The public announcement coincides with a presentation Watson expects to make Thursday at a popular Internet security conference in Vancouver, where Watson said he will reveal full details of his research.
Watson, who runs the www.terrorist.net Web site, predicted that hackers will understand how to begin launching attacks ``within five minutes of walking out of that meeting.''
``It's fairly easy to implement,'' Watson said. ``Someone walking out of the conference would immediately understand. No matter how vague I am, people will figure it out.''

Looks like I got it early...LOL.....My PC crashed bad yesterday, but right before it did I noticed that after clicking anywhere on this MB I would see that I was recieving data from CH.COM, as soon as that stopped I was still recieving data but it was from redrubberball.net....sometimes its a different site but mostly red rubber ball.
Anyone know what up with that?, is someone trying to get into my shit buy using the MB somehow?

I have not discovered any problems so it isn't happening to everyone. Maybe someone will come along and know what is up.

Actually looks like a bad one. Router vendors are crafting bios and firmware updates. Life may suck for a few days on the net.

No redrubberball.net but I'm gettting inundated with popups ever since I surf into some porn site. Also had someone hack me and tried to log onto my isp but Norton caught it and deleted it. That would explain the several times I found a logon page to ATT timed out that required a password. A slow painful death for these bastards wouldn't be good enough. Maybe chronic CH with all 10s??? I always said I wouldn't wish it on anyone but now...

For those having weird 'marketing' problems on their computers, I recommend AdAware from Lavasoft. It will find and remove all that nasty scumware. It's free.

Ok, but I just checked again and there is definitely a free version on the site. I have a free version installed on my computer right now  Just hate to see you out 40 bucks needlessly.

John I'm reading it now bro, I'll IM you if I can't find it which wouldn't be unusual for me LOL.
I appreciate this cause these guys aren't where they should be. If they got in here who else got in here. Wierd crap has definately been happening the past couple of days. Yesterday I got a warning that someone was attempting to access my computer and it shut itself down. Upon reboot I was prompted to contact AOL and they instructed me to change my password and gave me a case #. ..........Do you think it was these marketing people or someone trying to grab a credit card number or something?

I don't know Brother, but you got some majorly strange stuff going on with your computer  . Things that shut down your computer are usually going to be viruses. I don't know where you can get free virus protection (anybody?). Good luck and hope it clears up for you.

Man alot of this talk is computer mumble jumble to me.....I've already killed 3 computers......there should be a law against such ABUSE....well one was an old freebie DOS and other lived 6 years and last one lived jus under 2 yrs. Anyhow.....I keep gettin port scan attacks but my anitivirus or firewall.....what ever.....stops it and gives me info and is always some strange address. Anyhow.....here is a link to a free pretty good virus scan my server reccommends to run along with your usual from time to time. And also there the free version of AVG 6.0 antivirus available the guys recommended that sold me this new PC. They have a small shop that builds there own and seem to know there shit....plus computers are there total LIFE. Here's the links.....look for the free edition on the AVG which is the last link I am posting......they told me at the shop it's a good one to have and it updates too....hope these help ?? Pam that don't wanna crash yet
