moni33 Posted July 18, 2005 CID Share Posted July 18, 2005 can anyone tell me what is this mean in simple english : Dear Comcast High-Speed Internet Customer, We have determined that your computer has been used to transmit unsolicited e-mail, an activity that is in violation of the Comcast Terms of Service Agreement. If you cannot account for this activity, the e-mail being sent from your computer may be due to a virus, Trojan infection, or other compromise to the security of your computer. To prevent further transmission of these e-mail messages, we have taken steps to secure your Internet connection by blocking outgoing communication on TCP port 25 from your cable modem. This will prevent your system from sending unsolicited e-mail to remote computers. It will not disable any other Internet communication and you will still have full Internet connectivity. Please note that web-based e-mail functionality, such as Comcast Webmail through www.comcast.net will still work, but e-mail programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape will be unable to send e-mail. If blocking outgoing communication on TCP port 25 does not disrupt your Internet experience, Comcast will keep this security feature applied to your cable modem unless you request that it be removed. Comcast strongly encourages that you take additional steps to help secure your system by installing a firewall. Please note that the block on port 25 cannot guarantee that your computer will not be compromised in the future nor can it prevent current viruses or Trojans from causing additional harm to your computer. and what is TCP port 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted July 18, 2005 CID Share Posted July 18, 2005 Yeah, TCP port 25 = SMTP port, outgoing mail. Try this web scanner, and this spyware scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
