    Kaspersky says someone is trying to attack me

    Hi,
    I have windows XP SP2 installed & Kaspersky as my antivirus & internet security program.
    Now i know Kaspersky is a very good program but in the night around 10 to 12 I get this message from my Kaspersky icon on the right of the taskbar that someone is trying to attack you while surfing the internet.
    Anybody knows about this message please let me know if its really dangerous.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    These attacks are made by the malware which tries to infect other vulnaberable PCs. They are automated and target random PCs. The so called attacking PCs are mostly victims of the malware themselves.

    That means that a computer in internet is infected with a virus and try to infect via internet.
    This worm affects only computers with MS SQL without updates. I imagine you don't have SQL installed in your computer. If you want you can disable this kind of alerts.
    Also, there is a lot of information about this warning in kaspersky forum and in kaspersky web: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208279532

    You need to take a preventive action for this ?

    You should configure your Kaspersky software to not harass you --
    The stuff to worry about is what your packet filter misses, not what it
    blocks.
