its not a virus, it means someone or something is probing your virtual ports, to see if any are open (e.g what servers you have running on your machine)

the reply from the forum while you're connected to it, might be interpreted by a stupid AV app as port scanning. Especially if you use Norton ;)

Hehe . . . Thanks a LOT .... :) Yehh I am using Norton . . . Now I can sleep well, as I now know that I am not under attach :D
