Seems mine are really empty... something must be cleaning them itself. Maybe MRU Blaster ?

I use Mozilla most of the time anyway, maybe this is the reason :D

Would using Trillian help?

Cannot Recommend this product enough, found two RAT's that Housecall, Panda Active Scan, and avast didn't find. Even if it is shareware , DOWNLOAD IT AND SCAN NOW!!

Have you no antivirus on the server or wherever the trojan is being installed? BlackICE is only really great as an IDS, firewall isn't very useful. Best bet is set up a honeypot, and watch their...

A good C++ IDE if your interested is Dev c++, which you can get from here. . It's FREEWARE :D

Yet again a company/corporation taking advantage of their program being popular. Not mentioning anyone (MS). This is unfortuneate to hear, are you sure it's not a false positive tho?

I might...

Do you recognise this name on this (IRC?) server ? It is possible they met you on their, did a whois and have installed a backdoor or something. Scan For Viruses Here and get rid of the backdoor....

I was going to ask the same question as fusion, and I was going to use Ranish. But i've realised this does NOT work with XP (NTFS Partitions) so i'll give Bootit a try:)

Useful, thanx!

C++ is great, learn it. If your going to go for a I.T. job, might be worth learning Java, it's well respected, at least in UK!

Thanx for the link, and the site. I haven't visited it b4!

With respect, surely the situation of personal firewalls changes quite regularly, with opinions of each individual piece of software changing too? I apologise if i'm wrong, I haven't been around AO...

Typical. Cue MS supporters and linux lovers :

Langalist is not necessarily about security, but computing in general. It can be found HERE. And about.com also has a few good newsletters.

After reading this thread I researched it. I found it is not in I.E.6 or XP. Cannot remember at this point where I saw it, but I only take information from reliable sources, so rest assured XP and...

Is NmapWin updated also?

He's a fool. Should have notified the Systems Admin immediately, then maybe he would have been praised, not prosecuted.

Seconded Moose! Wise fellow....

Yeh, ok thanks. But the connection was active about 30 secs after I closed it. It was not there after a reboot, ill follow the links shown, thanks alot.

From an MS server? I doubt it....

Using a public proxy to login to services that require passwords is a big No No . A simple packet sniffer which is decoding all information passing through it would easily compromise the security of...

I (shamefully) opened Help and Support in XP. Closed it. MSN Messenger had been signed out (DISCONNECTED) for well over half an hour. I then did netstat, producing three interesting connections ....

Is this version of the paper applicable to Windows XP? If not, is there a paper that is?

Thanks,

Thank you both very much for your replies. I am not run NAV, I run Avast! 4 , and occasionally GAV. Also, thanks for your advice on using it in conjunction with a firewall.

I used to use Outpost,...

I hope your post was not directed at me... I was merely suggesting another way to update your system.
