Does the scanning service look for viruses, backdoors, and trojans?
Yes. The scan checks the most commonly used TCP and UDP ports to see which ports are open. Then, all open ports are scanned. Open ports are often exploited for common attacks, including netbus, back Orifice, Sockets, and various Trojan horses. By scanning all open ports, the scanning service can also help detect unauthorized services. Return to the top of the page.
