It seems so. And what can you do is re-build the machine. If the FW has been disabled, then no telling what kind of back doors have been installed that you don't know about.

If the machine as a direct connection to the Internet (no router sitting between the modem and the computer) then harden the O/S to attack.

There is one for Win 2K too.

You can look around for yourself from time to time using the proper tools.

Unauthorized disabling of Norton 2003 open original image

I've been using Norton Firewall 2003 without tinkering with it at all and I've just noticed that the firewall icon was missing from the taskbar. I then opened up the program menu and it says it had been disabled (not by me) and when I try to access the OPTIONS menu it says it can only be accessed by the system administrator. I'm the only one using this PC



Has my PC been compromised? What can I do?
