ScanTCP and UCP Ports for Virus or Worm

---

Question:

Does WinBatch have any extender capable of scanning for open TCP & UCP ports on a computer. After discover the open port, issue a command to close it.

Thinking of creating a WB script to scan a virus / worm infected computer & disabled the virus by closing the ports used by the virus, manually removing the virus registry keys & files.

Answer:

The Winsock extender can be used for work with TCP connections & TCP ports, but there is no UDP support or raw IP datagram support in the Winsock extender. There isn't any firewall functionality built into the extender, so I'm not sure how you'd go about closing the ports used by the virus/worm. You should have no problems using WinBatch to manipulate the registry & files as part of a disinfection routine.
