In response to HAL9000! All that I had open was my hotline server and client.

So I'm assuming that someone used a program like "port sniff" or something like that to determine the open port. Is that correct? If so, can I somehow hide this information from being seen by a hacker?

I find it hard to understand how someone can plant a trojen directly into my pc. Yet again, it makes me wonder what else a hacker can control on my PC.

This is kinda starting to get scary!
