I'd also recommend openports.exe from DiamondCS...it's
a bit more comprehensive than fport, AND it doesn't
require an admin account to run.

listening on and what
servers/ports it is connecting to.

Subject: Strange services.exe file

Hello, I came across a strange services.exe file in
WinXP and don't know
how it got there. This services.exe landed in the
root
c:\windows\services.exe with a hidden attrib flag
set. There was also a
registry key set at
HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run
with the value "services C:\WINDOWS\services.exe
-i". What it appeared
to
do was send data back to hosts
dhcp-ve3-101.cable.amis.net
(212.18.53.101) and um-sd04-907.uni-mb.si
(164.8.15.109). I'm stil in
progress of disecting this to find out what exactly
it does. Does anyone
know anything about this?
 
Thanks
Dan
