Hi,
I'm using TCPview from Sysinternals and a netstat from cmd. How and if a trojan will be visible? I'm just asking.
Thanks!

Both allow you to see what ports are listening or connected on your computer and what executable/application owns that process; if I'm not wrong.

What firewall are you running? A commercial firewall would most likely have a Program Control feature, which detects and allows you to stop, or allow programs that want to connect to the internet/server.

XP's built in firewall isn't particularly good, i recommend using Zonealarm Free Edition.
