 From what you have revealed about your setup, your pcAnywhere machine
is setting there waiting for anyone to connect (or attempt to). That is
very bad. With a firewall in place in front of the pcAnywhere PC then
you can at least restrict the IP addresses that will be allowed to talk
to the pcAnywhere PC. A VPN setup would be even better, but more
complicated to set up.
