The Norton Internet Security app. I have on my PC just popped up a window to say my system was protected from this current virus going around.
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.
Disabling SMB v1 takes out all my network devices...so what does one do to gain access to shared devices if SMB is disabled?
Enable Homegroups? Yuk...
