Thanks for the scan. I turned off kdm. I will upgrade my firewall when my
wife gets off aol.
These results are about what I expected. I am surprised that the ShieldsUp
web site told me these ports (113, 80, 84) were "stealth" when they are
open.
I may have missed some attempts to scan ports because I don't log those
ports I accept, just the ones I deny.
Oh well, I think I am safe from this new virus.
These worms get more and more vicious. What if the virus writer had intended
to do obvious harm like erase eveyone's hard drive? I feel like windows
users are still living in the pre-9/11 world.
