interpreting TCPview results

[bgreen]

I came home after a day away for work, to find my kids had managed to
infect the computer with all sorts of Spyware (Spyfalcon) and viruses
(Boxed.B & BeovenS!generic).

The viruses seemed easy enough to remove (coming back just once)
unlike the Spyware.

I have looked into additional methods to protect my computer - one
option was to try TCPview.
However, I was unsure about the results which seemed very different to
examples I have seen.

I would appreciate comments on the log below.

Bob, other than killing the kids set up a logon account that has NO install
privileges but will let them use the malware infested Internet safely

* Physically disconnect the system from the Internet
* As your system has been majorly comprimised the best way to go is to
retrieve your Windows installation CD and FORMAT the hard drive then install
Windows.
* Install required applications
* Defrag the hard drive
* Install ALL prevention protection on ALL logon User IDS
* Defrag the hard drive

As far as TCPView, you're the one who has to make the determination is
something running that should not be running or is something connecting
out or listening that should not be doing so.

I suggest that you use the other tools in the link other than TCPView
and look around some more.

Many thanks for all the sound advice,

Perhaps I should borrow one of your armed bears for the kids.

Duane,

Thanks. I have started reading the articles. I will go back to my ISP
and see what programs they rcommend. One problem with free scans etc is
I am never sure who the people offering the scans etc are.

Regarding TCPview I have just started watching how it reacts to
everything I do on the net to see how it works and what looks odd.
