}       Confirmed. They have stopped the JetAdmin program and I have not detected

Thank you!  JetAdmin has plagued our internal networks (a /16 net) in the past.

The last packet in the second scan was observed early this morning:

Feb 18 02:01:18 195.77.170.25(4702) -> 192.52.153.33(161)

None since then, I'm happy to report.

I greatly appreciate your effort.  We're watching SNMP traffic very closely
right now.
