    Detection tool seems to work but I had to Ctrl+Alt+Del and kill it in Task Manager to close it after it finished scanning.

    Not only could I not kill it when it was done, it's caused my system to hard reboot twice now in the process of trying to kill it.

    Also works fine for Primesuspect.

    I think the takeaway here is simply "save what you're doing before using beta-quality detection tools".

    Port 139 is used by NetBIOS for Windows Printer and File sharing.

    NetBIOS is on every machine in our network, which means I'll have to look at each of nmap's returned strings individually.

    With over 1000 computers, this sounds tedious.

    Worked fine for me, said none of the systems on my network were infected.

    Worked fine for me as well. About 200 systems.

    Well, since running it now, my screen is flickering, and it locked up while i was watching a video, and since i rebooted the idle pointer is a series of solid white bars, no idea what it could be >.<

    2000+ Windows systems and no sign of Conflicker.

    Works fine, no lockups or worms here.
