hi whoever you are.
OK, time to show my ignorance, what is DMZ? I know it is different from my military definition, demilitarized zone.zzz2496 said:
Yup, that's it... Basically it's a rule in the router that will direct EVERY traffic that is destined to the router directly to the DMZ-ed host. It's the easiest way to be "directly connected to the Internet" through a router. This way you won't have any problem with closed ports (as long it's open in your Windows firewall), you don't need to make a forwarding rule. It's the easy way to get screwed, basically...

OK so I had first encounter with a boat load of the buggers. I was setting up a dual boot partition (clean installed) when lo and behold defender pops up and starts to run. Now I know defender doesnt do that so I just hit cancel. Unfortunately the cancel button also spawned more nasties.
Now Im at the point where I cant open task manager, I cant go to any AV web site, and its just launching more and more processes.
I finally had a brain storm. Boot from the other partition and run a virus scan from that partition to the infected one.
After deleting, and removing 77 objects I had a clean (clean) partition.
Not feeling comfortable I re-formatted anyway.. Total time to back online cleanly was about 2 hours.
Always helps to have a win 7 installed on a USB stick. 22 minutes to install.
So be careful
