I used a network scanning program and found that six of my client computers
(XP pro) have TFTP running. I have a firewall and I knew that it was
blocking out the MSBlaster worm so I didn't think it was that. I went to
each computer and ran an antivirus update and did a full scan. I found no
viruses on these computers and there was no TFTP listed in the services
control panel. Does anyone know what this could be or how I could turn this
off?

Thanks
Matt
 
Download a utility called "Active Ports" (search the web for it) and install
it on the affected machines. Run it and look for local port 69 (UDP).
It'll tell you which file has it open. Kill the task and remove the file
from the machine. Are your AV definitions up to date?

Also, scan the machines with a tool called "AdAware" from Lavasoft.
