    Whoops,
    I abruptly cut off the last message before clueing you into this last
    tidbit.  The fact that
    the person is trying to connect to 2140 does not necessarily mean
    that you have the
    Trojan on your computer.  It might just be a harmless Trojan scan.
    The best way to
    figure this out is to either update your virus definitions and scan
    for it, or if you are on a
    Windows box, drop into your command line and type 'netstat -a'
    without the ' of course.
    This will show you a current list of all ports that are open on your
    computer.  Look
    through that list to see if you find any of those open ports.
    Sorry for the confusion, or the paranoia that you might have suffered
    in knowing that you
    might have a trojan on your box.
