This has happened twice now, and it's freaking me out.
I run a firewall called 'At Guard' and out of nowhere I recieve the message &quot;Inbound TCP being attempted - DCOM Services, related to the 'rpcss.exe' file and then 'nbsession (Net Bus)' associated with this file: rnaapp.exe
Does this indicate a hacker afoot?
Or is there a logical explanation?
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
