Port scanned!

Inquisitor · 26 May 2006 at 14:51

I keep getting port scanned, apparently from 192.168.0.2, which is my computer:

This started happening about 2 days ago, and it's been happening ever since :confused:

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Did you install anything 2 days ago?

Just LayerSeven, a bit of network traffic monitoring software written by NathanE...

Its probably that, does LayerSeven have a service running?

This is probably due to something you are infected with, Sub7 (if that is still around). It is trying to find an open port to exploit or allow someone to connect to, some of these programs submit your IP and the port to a webpage or to whoever sent this program to you.

Your firewall is doing it's job at the moment, so don;t worry. I would run a full virus/adaware scan ASAP.

Oh cheers

Na it's not that. Although it does place the card into promiscuous mode which could be causing the firewall some confusion... Not sure. What firewall is that, Inquistor?

I've seen that logo before , is it Sygate by any chance ? I used to use for years , but there was a security issue with so I ditched it. NeoTrace & Neowatch were others I liked and one more I cannot think of its name but there was supposed to be a backdoor into it .

Yup, that's it. I've done a full system scan with Kaspersky, but it hasn't turned anything up :confused:

Like I said , I used Sygate for a long time , but I put a new spy/malware checker on my pc and it came up with a keylogger in the Sygate program.I imediately ditched it .I dont think your problem is connected with a keylogger.Have you installed any programs on your pC arround the time this scanning has appeared ?? .Are your sypware and anti-virus progys up to date ??

Yup, got the latest version of Kaspersky. I've run Spybot S&D, Windows Defender, Ad-Aware etc. Nothing found, other than various cookies.
