Since i now know i'm being hacked, i have created a new thread, a followup to this one. I got ActivePorts as suggested, closed up a bunch of ports. DirectUpdate from DynDns.org was listening even though it was off. So was Serv-U. I was watching ActivePorts and new connections just started popping up. No path name, no process name, just port number and remote IP. Ports were (last two digits uncertain) 2620, 2621, etc. Six ended up popping up. Five had similar IPs, one of which was 205.188.10.28 - a tracert lead absolutely nowhere (no resolve on last two hops). The other four were very similar, i.e. 205.188.11.30. One was totally different, started with a 68 i think. I turned on Zone Alarm lock immediately, and they disappeared after turning it off. I don't know how to block those ports. The status on them was TIME_WAIT (or something similar) when active.
