hi alan,

wow, "I had an unauthorized connection to my system today" are words that no one wants to hear.

i highly recommend downloading and installing blackice defender. costs $40. nothing to configure. and it puts you right into stealth mode.... it's the best software personal firewall available, from all that i've read. i run it and feel good about having it.

networkice.com

in the meantime, just in case... try looking for this file on your hard drive via file manager

WINDLL.DLL

i've read that back orifice leaves this tell-tale file behind as a footprint on all systems it inhabits. just good to periodically check for it.

good luck

:)
