Apparently one of our PC's we use for downloading movies etc at work has is affected on port 1090 (That's all i know)

i presume it's the xtreme trojan because this is what I've found on the net.

Can anyone explain what it is ?

Cheers

AVI,

An infected port ???? Not sure I understand.

Why don't you check out www.grc.com they will be able to securely scan your ports, etc and provide you with really interesting information regarding securing ports, etc.

I don't know what i mean, the PC is on a seperate network to ours, the admin just told us that it was broadcasting out on that port??? :confused:
Andy

maybe kazaa ??

There are loads of reserved ports such as 80 for http 22 for ssh etc... the list goes on - check the link. Anyway, sorry gone off on one there - an infected port really sounds like your admin dept are getting a bit confused. Your PC could be broadcasting out on port 1090, but as for infected, hmm not sure. If your pc is behind a firewall they should have odd ports like that shut anyway, problem solved.
