nellie2 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Did you know that there is an online virus scan available that doesn't require an activeX. In other words you can scan using Firefox or any browser that supports Java. And even better, not only does it scan but it disinfects too!! :P http://fr.trendmicro-europe.com/consumer/p...call_launch.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackrat Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 That was interesting Nell I just tried it and was in linux at the time, it scanned SuSe first and then continued to scan XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rong Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I did a scan (clean) and also did a hacker scan that said port 443 and 80 were open but not a problem. Is this right? Got this from GooglePort 443 ssl This is the default port for HTTPS/SSL. This is the encrypted form of HTTP that normally runs over port 80. This is the default port used when you do credit card transactions with an e-commerce site. It's this (This is the default port used when you do credit card transactions with an e-commerce site) that leads me to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Its just a virus scanner.... not a port scanner. If the hacker scan said the open ports weren't a problem then I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Its just a virus scanner.... not a port scanner. If the hacker scan said the open ports weren't a problem then I wouldn't worry about it.But there is a Hacker Scanner there on the second tab at the top.I ran it and it told me all my ports were closed and I was safe. Presumably that makes the Hacker Scanner a port scanner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 But there is a Hacker Scanner there on the second tab at the top.oh I didn't notice that. :blush: I was reading the stuff about how it all worked etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
