Re: Is my home computer at risk knowing that nmap says...



Molsons; I don't have at hand right now. But Singha, yes I do. And I am
glad to send!

And yes, firewall rules are set to "DROP".

By the way, I could also receive another nmap output, this one executed
right in my home town and the result is what I was more expecting to
see (below)

Great thanks again for this insight
