    My AVG E-mail scanner is connecting to strange addresses, IP check shows one to be in Russia.

    "AVG pop3 is scanning 80.86.244.193" like if I was DL E-mail from that address.

    Sometimes it goes to a different address.

    Already done everything an the "Please read" list, way before I read it.

    Any info here?

    Hold on, cannot find the combofix log.

    Edit: scanning with AVG again to get fresh log.

    To whom it may concern, AVG comes out clean for the AVG anti-spyware and anti virus. Been using them for a while, can't import AVG log, the site says they are invalid files.

    Put it into a ZIP file and attach it.

    Based on your logs I'm not seeing any malware other than NetMeter which you just installed on Jan 31st. This is considered malware. See the below:

    I suggest that you uninstall this immediately. Also what is X-Chat 2 that you also installed on Jan 31 st. Perhaps you should also question the installation of this or anything else also recently installed.

    You should also do the below.


    Uninstall the below old versions of software:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
    Java(TM) 6 Update 3

    Make sure you reboot after uninstalling the above!

    After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment
