Urgent Help Sercurity Problem


Well I finally got my smoothwall box up and running.. I checked my ports and things seemed ok

The problem i have is that i was online when a new window opened, the site it took me to was http://www.hacker-spider.de/

Its all in german, as i looked at the site i saw that my IP address and view of my hard drive was on the site ????

Im really confussed.. the site got my IP address and the contents of my hard drive. I clicked on some of my files and I could delete, edit and even copy them...

What happened 2 my computer ??? What was the firewall doing ???

Please vist the site and tell me what u think..

If you can tell me whats going on I would appreciate it..

Please don't cross-post.

I'm no security expert, but I do not believe there's a problem here. The frame is a link to your local c: drive, the contents of which I believe only you can get access to.

However, if you have a doubt about being compromised, it is best to take your computer off the 'net to investigate it.

Just looked at it from work.........don't believe that it would compromise our FW. But I will get one of my german friends to look at the page to see if it has nefarious intent.

using babelfish to view that site, shows it is just a script kiddie page. nothing more. looks like utils for those lame windows kiddies to try, and crack icq, aim, and other well known exploitable chat utilities that most script kiddies like to exploit, seeing as they usually cant do more than point, and click to actually exploit a flaw on someone elses machine.
