ok, to the point: sometimes i'll poke around folders under the share, and i'll find that permissions have been given to "unknown user .... (random numbers and letters)". i just wanted to know if this was evidence of someone cracking into my system or if it's a really bad bug... or is it a worm that mcafee virusscan 6.0 isn't finding?
disclaimers:
-i'm running winxp pro., and previously was running win2k.
-i have personal firewall software, but generally consider them more troublesome than they're worth.
-i disabled file sharing and have had it disabled all this time (after a clean installation of winxp).
-i disabled the default shares of my operational and storage drive and deleted the "everyone" permissions from them.
i'm just curious, thanks.
