Yes it is a network virus warning message and yes my security software PcCillin 2006 blocks it - however it is my understanding that the patches identified with MS03-026 would eliminate the warning message and windows would automatically block the attack.


While installing the MS03-026 patch (or a subsequent Service Pack) would certainly protect your computer from being infected and damaged by the RPC exploit, doing so would have absolutely no affect upon a 3rd party application's notifying you of such attempts. If you don't want your security application telling you when exploit attempts occur, simply configure that application to suppress the warnings.


What Ms03-026 says is that a peice of RPC code has come through my network or onto my pc and thus the warning message.


This doesn't really make any sense. "MS03-026" was Microsoft's designation of the patch needed, but there is no "MS03-026 Warning" native to Windows. What is the *EXACT* wording of this error message, and what is the *Exact* text displayed in the title bar of the warning/alert dialog box?

vulnerability check is says my pc is clean. The Ms03-026 message comes up every 15 minutes.
