So theres an SMB exploit and theres a virus called GandCrab v4.1 that spreads via an SMB exploit.
So im going to give you a tutorial how to disable it
- Press the windows logo key on keyboard and the letter R
- type sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb20/nsi
after that Press the windows logo key on keyboard and the letter R again - type sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= disabled and your done!
Atleast this will help stoping to spread viruses who uses this exploit.I hope you have a good day.Peace out!
