When I start my Fax Console (Microsoft Fax Console, ver. 5.1, build
2600.xpsp2.040919-1003:service pack 1) that came with my windows XP home
edition, SP1, I get two messages I would like clarified, one from Zone Alarm
(I click deny) and the other from my Norton antivirus (I click OK, I think
this means OK, I got the msg, not OK let it in!! ). It seems the fax
console may be functioning afterward, don't know, no incoming faxes to tell
if it's working. If I close the fax console and reopen, no warnings on
reopening but the warnings come each time I first start the fax console
after a re-boot of the computer.
Zone Alarm pops up and says:
Windows Explorer is trying to act as a server
Application: Explorer.exe
Source IP: 0.0.0.0: Port 1024
And, my Norton antivirus pops up and tells me a worm is trying to access my
system with the following message:
Default Block Netspy Trojan Horse
Date: 4/12/05
Time: 10:33 AM (or whatever time I am using the program)
Path: C:\windows\explorer.exe
Filename: Windows Explorer
Direction: Inbound
Local Address: all local network adapters
Local Port: 1024
Protocol: TCP
My computer is clean, according to scans by Norton antivirus, Adaware,
Spybot, CWShredder, all current programs with current updates.
Is this all a reflection of the fact that my computer, to receive faxes, has
to operate as a server? Where is the "worm" coming from?
Recommendations/explanations appreciated. I've sent and received faxes
before, months ago, but don't remember these warnings appearing.
