I have a XP host

that McAfee says is clean, MRT.exe doesn't see, no odd processes, net

activity, etc looks normal......

 

but...

 

Every ten seconds for a week (just reviewed logs this AM) I see on my

primary nameserver:

On the router nearest this host I see no large amount of traffic from it, I

see no internet traffic trying to get to it.

 

I'm stumped. Just see these 4 MX records being looked up over and over and

over...

 

ANybody have any suggestions?

    Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --

    http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

     

    To use this utility, perform the following...

    Execute Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }

    Choose Unzip

    Choose Close

     

    Execute C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT

    { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

     

    NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your

    FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

     

    C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}

    This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.

    This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.

    The choices are Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

     

    You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can

    download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files

    needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key

    during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe

    Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

     

    When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help

    file.

     

    Additional Instructions:

    * * * Please report back your results * * *

    Your computer is searching for Microsoft Windows, Yahoo Companion, Intel

    <??>, and Google <toolbar, desktop, etc...> updates - that would be my

    guess.

    Great hint, I removed all that crap from it right before this started.

     

    Thanks...

     

    The PC is 1500 miles away, and I have to fix via VNC, but that is really a

    great hint...
