Default Port Search

Hi, Lord of the Rings

I'm not so keen on the idea of a port search, hackers use such tools to find vulnerable PCs to infect with their viruses and Trojans.

Although I can see why you want such a facility, I can’t help but feel that this could help to undermine home users PC security and stability. Having “port search”, on the surface, seems like a good idea but such a facility can only add to the tools used by miscreants.
