First, Jason, thanks for the responses.
I asked because I saw some references to some viruses
using svchost but a virus scan shows nothing.
The internal port being forwarded is 3007 UDP.
This only happened after I entered your changes. The only
ports I have seen before were those for Windows Messenger
and MSN Messenger. As far as I know I don't have any
applications that would use 3007. A quick search showed
references to lotus mail and SQL server neither of which I
have. I have ZoneAlarm so maybe I should just block it
and see what happens.
