This is a snippet from an e-mail that I received today. Since I've established
that I have no known trojan or virus, the following makes me feel less
violated. Just another day at the office, I guess. :-)
----------------------
Those intrusion attempts are usually people doing port scans or checking for
the BO virus and similar things. They are essentially "taking a look" at
your machine and checking for security holes. They usually are not
targeting you directly but doing massive net scans in order to "fish" for
victims.
Your best defense is to continue the use of those scan detectors and keep
your machine free of viruses such as Back Orifice.
