Re: Port abuse is BS!

I woudn’t worry about it. My guess is Insight is only doing this to inform you that you may be infected with a Worm or some backdoor server application. They’re probably sending the emails out, so you’d be aware it. It doesn’t make sense that they are doing this to try and terminate the thousands of people running small personal servers. They’d loose too much money by doing that. If that was their goal, they just simple block all the well known server ports, and be done with it. They’d loose a whole lot less people by just blocking the ports than terminating everybody.
