Exclamation DCOM Exploit attack??? Pls help


Hello everyone, im really new to this forum..

my computer is installed with antivirus "avast"(I have to say- the performance is really good). But
for the past 2 weeks i hav been getting an alert from the resident scanner which says:
Network shield blocked : DCOM Exploit attack from 10.3.0.170:135
something like that.
sometimes it will be once or twice for a day but sometimes the warning comes every 10 minutes or so...

(Also thers some problem with my IE also i think i should post a new thread for that)

Actually this computer is used by my parents, i ll not be in my home after 3 days. so pls help me cure this prob before it gets any worse.
if someone can help me before i can leave my home, it will be very grateful.
thanks

Default Re: DCOM Exploit attack??? Pls help

ya this happens with dial up connections in Avast !!

but dont worry theres no attack what so ever it is just a bug in network shield.

do program update by

right click avast icon
-> updating
-> program update

Just to stay secure install Spybot S&D plus some firewall
I would suggest Comodo (user friendly for ur parents)
