If there is a trojan in your system.The firewall is blocking it,that's good!I would recommend downloading and using an anti-trojan program.A good program will remove it.Try these sites for reviews to help you select a trial version;pcflank.com,ZDNet.com,wilders.org.There is 1 free program that I know of,Swatit.Good Luck.JB

Hi Vanessa.
Try the free Trojan program SWAT IT from...
http://lockdowncorp.com/bots/downloadswatit.html
Or for a 30 day free trial Trojan Hunter from...
www.wilders.org (I think, anyway)
You might also want to look at the free SPYBOT program from...
http://beam.to/spybotsd
I have not seen this last one, only read about it, but all the above are for Trojans.
Post back with your results.

Michael,Good idea!I have Spybot.It is unique in that it targets dialers,keyloggers and a bunch of other sleazy programs.It's not the easiest program to run at first,but it is very effective!I believe it has a small portion of it's database that taregets some trojans also.vanessa,if you get spybot,I can help you with setting it up.

maybe u all is right, but hitting 1234 port (trojan port), it might be cause by trojan, ppl just want to connect to the trojan port for remote control. The only solution for this matter is add the frequent attacker IP and add it to your router ACL table, so that whenever the IP reach your router, it's been drop. hope this help. If it is not a random IP, then there isn't much thing u can do.
