mark, and others ...

there is only one program (cheap $20) that i have found that adequately
addresses (and defeats) these types of 'trojan' issues, including Back
Orifice.  the program is called BOClean.  you can read about here:

http://www.nsclean.com/boclean.html


***********

snipped from their web site ...

"BOClean version 4.01 software protects you against Back Orifice, Netbus,
Master's Paradise and over 60 other trojan horse programs and automatically
removes these programs from memory, your hard disk and your registry without
the need to reboot or drop your internet connection. BOClean safely
neutralizes these threats instantly without any risk of damage to your files
or computer. BOClean is designed to allow you to update the program from our
FTP site in the event of future internet trojan horse discoveries. Updates
are FREE. Unlike "freeware" and "shareware" programs which behave like virus
scanners, BOClean is fully automatic, detects an "incident" in 10 seconds or
less and removes it completely without the need to reboot or terminate the
connection."

"BOClean is designed for individual use as well as central administration
in network environments and can be customized in a number of ways. It can
also be hidden on a desktop to protect against tampering by end users.
Because it is automatic and runs in the background, there is no need to
depend on user training or vigilance to secure your machine or your network.
BOClean will shut down an intrusion before the person on the other end has a
chance to so much as "ping" the victim's machine, much less start grabbing
data. When an intrusion occurs, BOClean is designed to stop it instantly. No
other security program from any other manufacturer works this way."
