Hello,

I'm running windows 2k server. It's patched with all hotfixes, etc. Also
has Norton AV and Kerio Personal Firewall.

It is running a web site under IIS, so port 80 is open.

I've discovered a file in the root of the c drive, called
ur_tunnel_profile.log, at about 2mb in size. It was created at a time
when no one was using the PC. Below are the first and last few lines of
the file. Has anyone got an idea as to what this is? Has someone gained
access to my PC?

First few lines:-
17:31:08:031 (168) (768023843)
17:31:08:031 (168) ( 0) ------------------
17:31:08:046 (168) ( 16) open

Last few lines of file:-

17:45:50:921 (904) ( 461.96) select completed 1



Thanks,

Everything I've found suggests it is related in some way to VPN/SSL (no mention of it's legitimacy though)

Thanks for that info! I've just VPN'd into work and the timestamp on the
log file updated to now! So it's the VPN software which creates that log
file.

Phew! i can throw away my foil hat now :-)
