Hello all, wondering if anyone can help with this.
I recently dl a port scanner from http://www.atelierweb.com/pscan/
After analyzing over 5800 ports there were at least 300 with entries like
Backdoor_az
Backdoor_nightmare
Worm....
Worm...
midnight caller..
ihatewin...
I didnt bring with me the full extensions but i know what ones were virus's ect. I have done scans with all of the spyware, shredders, trojan removers, Av, adaware ect ect. Didnt find any,
The software i dl gave u option to make inactive or kill the process. I did about 50 but too many to sit there for hours.
My question is that the backdoor_az type things, are these active trogans or hack attemtps??
Also i know that some of the worms it found, including blaster-b are not active anymore but yet they are running an active process. Firewall wont block these port users and i am not sure the best way of handling them. If the virus or worm is inactive then it should not need a port for communication?
Nothing is actually wrong with the comp, and im very aware of "if it aint broke then dont fix it" but 300????
If non of the software finds ANY of these 300 entries then what can i do?
