| BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 381742 United States05/13/2010 04:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what is pinging and why would someone want to do it to a computer? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 865730To turn it into a zombie and send spam... Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 969699I use Zone Alarm firewall and it has a default setting of not allowing ICMP pinging incoming or outgoing. It also stops incoming or outgoing ping echo. You have the option to turn them on, but that's not recommended. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 865730Pinging is an electronic pulse a computer sends out to an IP address to see if the computer at that address active. If so, it continues it's business, whatever that is. Hackers use pinging to see if your computer is active. If so, they may try to hack into your computer. Get a firewall....a good one. I use Zone Alarm for Windows 7 64 bit. Fantastic. |

Oldest scam in the book - infected by a program claiming to protect you. |
