No, not even in the registry. I think my concern would be where are
they attempting this from and if/how they obtained your log on name. If this
is happening from the internet, then it indicates a vulnerability in your
setup as far as no or a misconfigured firewall. You can test your basic
vulnerability by visiting one of the sites that will scan your public
address for you. There are excellent free [personal use] firewalls
available. --- Steve
