XP Spyware
Aloone_Jonez:
I've asked the IT department and they say "it has had problems with viruses"
So it's not the real svchost.exe or its some other shit fucking with it and screwing it into accessing this IP address to spy on us.
Orethrius:
Like I said, it's Klez - one of the variants, at any rate. I can track down the tools if you'd like to rid yourself of it, but the safest bet is to get IT to switch to Linux... ;)
Oh, and Klez variants are typically content delivery not content reception, another in this field being Cydoor - it's basically an overblown advertising engine (though it's been bastardized so many times it's hard to tell exactly WHAT is out there). Sorry, that's just one of my sticking points as a SysOp. :cool:

Ok... well... umm...
First off Grues are cool. Next thing, why is it that a thread I started 6 months ago is still going? Anyway thanks for all the help.
And not to start a huge Windows vs Linux thing but seriously linux isnt exactly the easiest thing to use and its compatability is fleeting. (I still love it though) But corporations cant really just "switch to linux" youd run into huge problems with not only compatability but also with the people using the computers needing to learn a new (more complicated) OS. Well anyway Ive shut down QoS and the mystery bandwidth has gone down to but a few traces.
And thanks again for the help.
