    Another big malware attack ripples across the world


    Looks like they only closed the email account; what's to say the blackmailer doesn't immediately open another email account somewhere else. *Sad I think the key words here are "from that source".

    Another big malware attack ripples across the world

    That article says - "Not only should you patch your computers to stop the SMB exploits, disable SMBv1 for good measure, and block outside access to ports 137, 138, 139 and 445, you must follow best practices ..."

    What is the purpose of those ports and do you really need to block them? Does anyone know how to block ports using Kaspersky Total Security since I can't see how to do this.

    Enable Homegroups? Yuk...
