dialing with out permission

Hi,

I recently posted a really hard problem. And it was solved, Thanks! I am experiencing another..

My computer keeps wanting to dial up it is requesting info from a web site and keeps prompting me to dial.

I have ran msconfig and can't see any unauthroized programs starting with the machine.....Is there any way to tell what program wants the net access??

The only program that I can see in the processes running that isn't usually there is INETINFO.EXE - whenever i try to end it it comes back! But this is a microsoft program in the IIS folder.

Both IISSTATS and INETINFO.EXE are running....I have the iIS sevrice stopped too!

 

See this thread http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15255 where a ME user experienced the same symptoms.

she's staying strong

well, i took a look at that link.

i ticked do not dial downloaded search and destroy. so much spyware! But still doesn't stop it. The only thing i can notice going in processes that wasn't there is inetinfo.exe which is part of IIS!

I did install apache just before this occurred could this have ****** off IIS!

it wants to connect rbase01.ath.cx ????

thankyu for your help so far!!!

 

Did you re-boot and run SSD again? If not, try that. If SSD has to delete something, windows may not have let it because its "being used ".

Also try Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoft.de/ which sometimes catches things that SSD does not. I use both for that reason, as a cross check.

Ran across this security warning on apache http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=4675&
