False Positives - 9.Oct.2009 7:22:21 AM

On some recent scans Languard found a Port 22222 being a Backdoor, however when I go to those machines I find no trace either with a netstat -a or a full virus scan.

Now I could easily just stop Languard from scanning for this , but the point is that it is finding something I cannot identify and probably should.

Does anybody have any idea's on how I can find what this maybe ?

Regards

Scott.

Is there any AntiVirus software running on the GFI Languard machine OR the machine being scanned? Start by disabling the AV on the GFI Languard machine and run the scan again, this may change the results dramatically.
