Aron; First of all, it would be a better idea to send the file as a text file, and , in light of all the viruses going around, it would also be a good idea to let people know that you attached the file to the email. Considering the nature of the text, and the size of the file, you probably could have copied and pasted the info directly into your email. God! Now i sound like a List Nazi ! Grin!
As to the info inn the file, it it normal info. The first section called "Security Warning" is only telling you that the files have been modified which could be something as simple as a package that you upgraded. The second section is just telling you that an assorted list of services on your system are listening for connections, or in other words, that they're ready, running, and listening for requests from other PC's. Now keep in mind that if this particular box doesn't need some of the services that are listed here, you should shut them down, and possibly remove them from the system, and of course, if this system is directly connected to your internet connection, and you don't have a firewall in place, then yes, you're asking for trouble. If you'd like to know what ports are actually being seen by anyone or anything on the Internet, browse over to "http://scan.sygate.com"; and run a quick scan. That will give you a pretty thorough report on what ports under 1025 are open and visible to the Internet. Hope this helps?
