Actually, someone did hack my system, and used FINDFAST to scan for files. They had open a .MPG movie I had made from my digital camera. Here's my setup: Win98SE with internet sharing enabled. I have a local net and am trying to share the DSL connection amongst my various machines. The DSL modem has a fixed IP and is always connected. The intruder came in to the host machine and ran FINDFAST and was accessing the MPG. I caught all this a day later. I guess their connection got hung. I used NETWATCH to discover the connection, and what files they were looking at.
Umm... you're aware that findfast comes with MSOffice, and it's purpose is to index files on your harddrive, right? What exactly did you see with netwatch? Ryan
