I got it from security lists. There are people that love messing with windows
and then happily report the results. The findings on these lists are seldom,
or next to never, on mainstream media.
Unfortunatley I don't make too many notes about these things as I really don't
care all that much. I wrote off windows a long time ago.

Nah, MS got tired of not getting into "their machines", and SP3 finally
installs a permanent backdoor. No setting you make will stop them from
gaining access. The only way to be sure of what happens is to have an
external firewall.
