FAT64 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Have you considered installing your Operating System, then install your AntiVirus/Anti Spyware applications and only then go on the Internet to update Windows?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgelmeyer Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 @FAT64 is right. I've seen this many times - if there isn't a NAT router to "protect" you from the outside world until you've installed a FW (and maybe an AV), your computer can have its first virus in less than a minute. Even if you just boot it up and don't touch it.So: pull the network cable, set up your OS with a firewall, and don't use blank passwords.

mutahir Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hello Gurgelmeyer,You know, when u can see which Process is associated with which connection or listening to what port on the cmd prompt...i think it tells us which process is connected or is being used by which of our internet application or something like that....it exists i know but iam having problems to explain it i have forgotten that switch.........Thanks and regardsMutahir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurgelmeyer Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 netstat -aIt doesn't give any PID's though - only listening/active connections (protocol, machine, port). But that's the only built-in command that comes to mind I'm afraid. Check out the links from it_ybd - those proggies got PID's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
