Hi,

I'm running Windows 2000 Server with the latest patches...

Just over the last few days somebody has been accessing my web server
remotely... as if they were using PCAnywhere (IE: they move the mouse about
the desktop, open folders, start menu, etc)

I didn't think this was possible without something like PCAnywhere or
Terminal Services (PCAnywhere is on the computer but not running, and
Terminal Services isn't installed)

Any tips or suggestions to what I could do to stop this? Is it some service
running in the background that lets them do this that I can disable?

I don't have a firewall... I tried a few software ones but they just wound
up messing things up and I don't have a router with firewall built in (just
a standard router)

Thanks!

Clint
