I just recived a port scan notice from Sygate, I imagine since I got the notice, sygate blocked any attempt to connect to my PC? heres a log from Sygate: Somebody is scanning your computer. Your computer's TCP ports: 445, 1025, 135, 2745 and 139 have been scanned from 67.39.207.173.
Hi Comp01 Those are common ports/services being scanned these days. Most likely someone looking for open file shares and the 2745 I believe is a port used by a backdoor related to the bagle virus. Your firewall is blocking them, so nothing to worry about. Regards, CrazyM
yup, as CrazyM said, no need to worry bout the port scan i've been getting port scans too recently in my sygate log
Don't worry about port scanning. Some years ago, I had dialup internet connection and was online for an hour 3 days a week. However, I received port scanning notification three or more times a day. Many years have past, port scanning activity has grown, but I have been being OK. Port scanning tools are available for everyone, especially for young novices dreaming to be a hacker. I was tracing the port scanning activity and was trying to detect the scanners. Nothing serious has been found.
