Default Windows Vulnerability !


Every system has a feature called DCom which is not at all used in our day today usual PC activities but is "ENABLED" by default in all windows systems. This feature is only used by software professionals for development purposes. Now, the prob is that HACKERS n VIRUS MAKERS have realised this loop in windows systems and almost all the new viruses are capable of exploiting ur system using this loop. But if u r clever enough to use an ANTIVIRUS software u get the warning messages. So the bottom line is to disable the DCom feature n to do it u will have to download a small software called DCom bobulator from grc.com (Doon worry its free n very small) n thts it u will be done.

ohh... do u know something, surya singh. Just by installing a av you are not secure. Hackers and virus makers whom u mentioned can use your av to gain admin access on ur machine using a small exploit found.

@expert no 1 : hope u knew this too

Hey h4xbox,
I guess u got me wrong TOTALLY. I m not only asking to install an ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE but to disable the feature completely. All I meant here was tht all those who use an antivirus software are smart enough and tht there systems are protected upto a certain level.

h4xbox read carefully and plzzzzzzzzzz dont consider ur self too smart and haan one more thing "I already knew what u were talking abt" but y talk of something thts not gonna happen in first place (if DCom is already disabled). PLZZZZZ DOON CONFUSE PEOPLE.
