Ok. Go here...

http://lists.gpick.com/portlist/portlist.htm

And scroll to PORT TCP/5000 ... You will see a GREAT number of trojans use this PORT.

For your information svchost.exe USES the port 5000... it is an important Windows Component.

Now install ANY firewall... It will ask you if you want to enable svchost.exe to access the internet... Say no and a LOT of your computer may go down (it is an important service to run) and say yes and you have a security issue...

Anyone care to enlighten me ? and tell me why my port 5000 is open ? Maybe this is a security issue people here are not aware off... Maybe SVCHOST is a trojan by itself...

Also, what does "enable a remote user to excecute a code on your computer ? Does that mean he can run any program ? Or format my hard disk ?"

One more thing ... Is there a firewall that DOESN'T KILL your internet habits by completely annoying you all the time with configuration and **** ? If yes, please tell me .
 
Yeah, this is old news. You Disable the SSDP Discovery Service in Services Manager.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
