Connection Monitor?

ej0c · Sep 1, 2007

Hi, I'm embarrassed to say that I've discovered my machine sending out a steady stream of data over my lan connection. (Or at least thats what the connection says).
I thought I was pretty well versed in removing virus/spyware, but....is there not a tool to just show me what process is currently sending all this data?

Thanks,
Ed

What's your firewall tell you? If you don't have one, put one in. That will tell you what processes are connecting to the internet.

If you want us to check your computer for malware, please do the following:

Welcome to Majorgeeks!

Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.

Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:

Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.

When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:

CounterSpy

AVG Antispyware log - ONLYIF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy

Bitdefender - from step 6

Panda Scan - from step 6

runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat

newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat

HijackThis

NOTE:You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

Not sure I understand. I use Windows firewall, and the firewall in my dsl router, but am not aware that either identify processes sending outgoing traffic.

Windows firewall does not. That's one of the weaknesses about it. Try turning it off and installing one of the firewalls recommended here under Point 3:
