Ive closed port 80 now so going to see how it goes.Now get to get rid of what has got on the comp

starting isass. exe 60 second shutdown.
Which has just strted see ya :lol:

Depends how well Kazaa is written. I think if it were possible it would be fairly important news given how many people run it.

If you're paranoid then p2p is an excellent way of distributing virus-type software, there was one in 2002 in which infected systems looked for vulnerabilities in other systems and if they found them transferred itself and installed (and they did, they all ran the same versions of the p2p software). When installed and running the software would connect to a chat room and listen for instructions from the guy who wrote the software. When enough infected computers connected he would be able to launch denial of service attacks from thousands of sources, invented a phrase called distributed denial of service, which is a whole lot more difficult to guard against.

If you're not paranoid, its a good way of getting music for free....

ZoneAlarm is going back on. I bet all the high rated hits where from Ian :lol:

yeh But would it be possible for people to access through the open port that kazaa is running on?to send viruses etc in?

Ian, stop using those long words or i'll have to use Google :lol:

I'm scared of Ian! What's he doing with his skills :lol:

Depends if you think its a problem. I assume you know that Kazaa enables people to get files off your computer, so long as you have set it up to only give selected files out, and you trust the Kazaa code to not be buggy or deliberately naughty then you'll be fine.

If you want peer to peer sharing then the computer must be open somewhere. 80 was probably chosen as its a common port so would make it through most firewalls without special config changes.

cheers Ian ,so kazaa is causing all the problems really?

Anton - Kazaa is listening on port 80. If you want to close it, close Kazaa.

Computer Misuse Act prohibits access to systems, I merely requested the root folder from his computer and logged the response.

Ian you are not helping :lol:

Ian, stop hacking peoples computers. I'm sure there is a law for this kind of thing :lol:

Its Kazaa - see my other post.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

Found this but startup is set as manual?

Press any key to continue...


Alternatively, you might be running p2p networking ;)

Not this time. If 80 is accepting connections then yes, the computer is acting as a web server.

If you have a router it may also indicate that your admin panel is accepting connections from the outside world - harmless enough if it then denies in the external interface or asks for user/pass.

If you do have a router did you change default admin logon?
