I get 6 or more of these messages every day. Obviously, the hacker is

What are your anti-spyware and firewall arrangements? Are you using a
modem or a router with a hardware firewall?

Gerry, I am using AVG 8.0 Antivirus and Comodo Firewall. My computer
is not being harmed by these "attacks", but I just wonder if there is
anything more I should do for protection.
Thank you for responding.

Is your computer purely a home computer or do you use it to log into
your employer's computer network?

This link gives comments on the Report from Event Viewer
http://snipurl.com/2ro8w [www_eventid_net]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTLMSSP

The Knowledge Base Article in the link implies that this was a bug fixed
in the SP2 update so you should not be seeing this Report
Security Event 529 is logged for local user accounts
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811082

How did you find out about these Reports?

You have not mentioned any anti-spyware protection. I suggest you look
at Spybot S & D (freeware version).

Download Spybot S & D from here

Gerry, I do have Spybot as well as AVG8.0 and Comodo Pro Firewall.
Mine is a stand-alone system. All of the references you listed were
about server applications.

I found out about the problem because I check my Event Viewer on a
daily basis.
Thank you again.

I should add that the "hotfix" refers to Event 529 appearing with the
owner's name.
The sample I included at the beginning of this thread, and others I
receive, are not my user name.
