21 FTP - we access, but don't support our own ftp server
23 Telnet - we do not use telnet I swear we're getting infiltrated. Gotta button the ship up. |

Did you scan from inside or outside your network? You can't get an accurate scan unless you do it from the outside.
Open ports are only for initiating connections. If you are not hosting a service you don't need to open a port for it. In other words, you only need port 80 open if you are HOSTING a web-server. The router will still forward web traffic because the request came from the inside. Open ports are only for requests coming from outside. PM your router's external IP if you would like me to scan it from the outside. Your virus problem is probably coming through web browsing (Internet Exploder) or email (Lookout). Nothing your router can do to stop IE/OL exploits. -Ben M. |
