Scope 5 uses Telnet service to "phone home"?

[Rinse]

altough I don't have the keys yet but I couldn't wait to install Scope 5 allready.

The installation went fine but after a reboot, my firewall asked if I would unblock the Telnet Service.. Does this has anything to do with the Scope installation or do I have to check my system for anything that shoudn't be there?

It didn't happen to me....

[Rinse]

I tried to replicate the issue, but now nothing happens.

Don't know what it was,.

Actually I don't care if Scope would phone home but usually I disable my internet related services on the DAW so I wanted to know if I should turn Telnet on for Scope,.

Maybe wait for the keys first,. then see what happens.

Telnet is disabled in my services but i don't know... if you can't replicate, may be it is something else...

[garyb]

i can't see any reason to need telnet...

you will need at least the key to Scope 5 to start it, so everyone is still waiting for those.

Well, it seems that this "Telnet" thingy was a nasty trojan which intruded though a USB Stick.

The Trojan copied itself over my telnet service (tlntsvr.exe) and than copies itself on any USB Stick which plugs into my system.

I finally found a way to remove it from all my USB Sticks and computer but no virusscanner could find it. All the info I could find was pretty confusing because the virus takes another windows service as identity.

At least i learned to hit Shift when plugging a USB Stick since windows doesn't use the autorun on the drive (which actually activates the infection)

So, this was no SCOPe issue.

Beat the USB stick with a stick!

BTW if I may ask...what did you have on the USB stick? PM is cool 2

i just turn autorun off for everything, usb stick is like floppies all over again.
