I'm pretty sure I had the same problem happen last month.

It means they are trying to connect to netbus, whose default port is 12345. Netbus is an old trojan, that as far as I know doesn't self propagate, but rather is injected in normal executables or disguised as one. Any AV should pick netbus, so unless you don't have one, there's nothing to worry about.

Also, I'd like to know where you got the idea it comes from FFChat.

*sends a few probes to that port from a machine not on FFChat to force that alert to come up again*

If it's Netbus then it's probably a few script kiddies that have no idea what they're doing.

you should be glad that the trojan intrusion was blocked.

unless you swing that way, of course. then do what you'd like.

Yep...I got this spybot worm thingy- I'm not sure of the name coz I don't have it on this computer, but once I get onto my laptop I'll try and look it up! - and this worm dude gave off a Trojan to hide itself. It was trojancachecachet or something like that but like I said, I can't remember.

And when I looked up this worm on Norton's website, it said that it spreads through IRC and Kazaa; I don't use Kazaa so it means it must have come from FFChat. I don't download music and stuff, and I only go on FFChat....so? I'm pretty sure BoB knows something about it too.
