[QUOTE="artek, post: 549988, member: 22897"] I'm not even sure if I was infected but here's my story -- was downloading tv shows from usenet, my client grabbed one particular episode, it was the right extension, name, etc., everything, but it was after exams and I was very tired and I ran the show without paying attention to the file size which was only a couple megs, which is odd for a 720p tv show. I had online armor installed at the time, and it didn't make a peep, so I deleted the file and didn't think much of it until I went into the OA firewall logs and noticed some windows services connection out to an odd IP range[I].[/I] I opened up task manager, didn't see any strange programs or scripts running, the media player wasn't in active tasks, and nothing else was running that would explain that many outbound connections. I ran scans with tons of different on demand scanners and they never found anything. The outbound connections to that weird IP range stopped once I rebooted, but I couldn't trust the system anymore so I Just wiped it. [/QUOTE]
