RE: FN-FORUM: Any hackers here?

OK, before you start wondering, my mother has just had Tiscali broadband
installed and I want to be able to check the security remotely to check that
she has a firewall installed.

Ideally I need some sort of port scanner to scan her IP address to see if
any of the ports are open.

I have tried to get her to run Shields Up remotely, but I think it was all
too much for her. Also installing her broadband has killed her phone line
(2 more weeks to fix) and mobile reception by her computer is poor to non
existent.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
