Re: OT: It can be a new virus?

Hi Steven,

I have NETBIOS port scan from all over the world, not from my neighbours.
And it is vissible that they are a lot lot more than usual port scans.
Sometimes they are more than 10 per minute, from totally different IP
addresses

They are reported by ISS BlackIce.

BR,
Dan
