Troubleshooting
I was having this problem while accessing the Internet for the past 3 days. After few minutes to hours connected to the Internet, the screen above will popped out. Clicking at "click here" will display the Error signature shown below. After clicking "Send Error Report" or "Don't Send", browsers could not display any page. Checked my Internet connection, everything look fine, it not disconnected or whatsoever.
I searched the net and found out that there were many computers affected or having the same problem as mine and it was happening 2 years ago and still happening!
What is happening here? It seems that some malware or anything related to it trying to exploit the open ports of your computer. Which ports to close? Port 135 and port 445. What is port 135 for? Well, this port should not exposed to the Internet. Hacker will use it to expoit DCOM-related server/service running on user's computer. Port 445 is about Microsoft Directory Services. Opening this port is vulnerable to hacker attack. They are able to upload their malicous files and execute it by using a program like psExec. The worst part are, they can do ANYTHING on your computer. It is very simple to solve this. You just close the door (port), that's it. I use Firewall Leak Tester (www.firewallleaktester.com/wwdc.htm) to close them. Pretty simple but it works, at least for me :)
