RE: OT: It can be a new virus?

["Scott Ewing" <scott.ewing@xxxxxxx>]

People have been scanning netbios ports on peoples computers like this
for years, I think the increased frequency might just be because of more
people getting on line, and thingking there some kind of hacker :)

You don't happen to have a static ip address do you?

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
