Fast reply I'm on the alert

Anonymous logons do not usually indicate a malware attack - they are
perfectly normal in a Windows network and are called null sessions. The
concern would be for a lot of failed logon attempts or users logging on when
they are not present. Make sure you have a properly configured firewall
protecting your network, that your antivirus scans ALL email attachments,
that you keep your computers current with critical updates, and that you
enforce strong passsowords on your network. The link below to the MS
Antivirus In Depth Guide is a great resource if you have questions on
malware attacks, how to defend from, and what to do if you are
nfected. --- Steve
