Explanation?

pcAnywhere is a program that lets you log into a Windows machine over a TCP/IP network such as the Internet (Unix and friends comes with this built in, but in windows you need a special program for it).

What you are supposed to do is either 1. put a good password on the thing, or 2. not expose pcAnywhere equipped machines to the hostile territory which is the internet. (Gold star for anyone that notes that option 2 is FAR safer)

What you often get, is people connecting their pcAnywhere equipped machines to the Net, and then using a lousy password (or no password at all).

And so, it becomes productive for script kiddies to scan for open pcAnywhere ports - this will usually let you log into the machine, and since it is a windows box, you will probably end up with full permissions to do whatever you want.

Here endeth the lesson

Well any machine that uses the Pc anywhere protocol, which is only windows, but6 I might add a fine line of distinction
