What I want to know is if they have access to my computer?Good Morning,
I am hoping I am directing this question to the right group....can you tell me why the following would be on my computer? "an http service is running, the port is open. The system is running MS-IIS/6.0 An FTP service is running, the port is open, What I want to know is if they have access to my computer?
Re: What I want to know is if they have access to my computer?At some point youve installed IIS on your computer (is it Windows XP Pro
64-bit or Windows 2003 Server?). This is not installed as standard. Yes, they have access to your computer. But the access is restricted to the user accounts they run under, and your public exposure is restricted by whatever security software/device configuration you have. If the quote youve provided is from an online scanning service then that means that these services are open the public to connect to - but it doesnt necessary mean that your system has been compromised. If you know that you definitely do not need IIS on your system you can remove it.
