If it's inbound -- you don't have it. It is looking for a peer.

| Thanks. I followed your instructions. It says I'm clean.
|
| McAfee Firewall Plus is still showing port activity on Port 17300 "Kuang2
| The Virus XXX" but nothing about having blocked the attempt.
|
| I believe this is an inbound probe and all the other ports state:
| "The firewall has blocked an attempt to access this port."
|
| I'm still not sure if I have it or not.
