Re: Port 135?!
Let me ask you this,
I run my Norton Anti Virus and keep it updated (Even though this is new, so I doubt Norton has updated itself for this as of yet) and also run my network at home behind NAT. What else can I do to take even more precautions in regards to this?
TIA,
Whiteice

If you are behind NAT that you are pretty much okay. If you dont have port 135 forwarded to any computers for a VPN or something (not required anyways because of the tunnelling blah blah blah).
So you should be fine. Only people running their machines with ports open like others here, or no NAT firewalls at all, would have something to worry about.
You really dont even need a software firewall with NAT but it depends on your browsing habits. OI only get email from 10 people tops, no attachments (mostly) and never any .vbs, exe. pl or whatever that can execute.
