Not necessarly that a computer has to be infected. All it takes is an
exploitation of the svchost process.

Routers are vulnerable. Proof that Cisco, one the largest networking
suppliers had a router comprimised. If Cisco had an exploitation of a
router.Then certainly Linksys ,Dlink or any other router are vulnerable..its
a thing called time & exploitation. Or a matter of time before some brainiac
discovers another exploitation of a router

*******************************************************
The following link is presented for the purpose of evidence that Routers can
be comprimised. This information intent is for evidence and not the purpose
to lead others to do such acts of a malicious nature**

Yes I concur on your findings of shutting down services can negate the
function of the OS. Just be very careful on what you turn off. Never turn off
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. It's the backbone for all the services.

*** Yes... This is a good discussion. :-)**** Bingo Thats the ticket !***
