I agree with Dan. I wanted to chime in here with a couple of additional tools. I recently had a bizarre problem and every scan kept coming up clean. I use various Pro versions of several softwares that I update and scan with daily just in case, such as AdAware Pro, PestPatrol, Anti-virus, etc). I finally found 2 specific programs which helped to track and eliminate the critters. 1.) HiJackThis: This is the program that helped me clean up stuff that the aforementioned programs didn't find. http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/index.html 2.) Kiwi Syslog Daemon: This program logs and stores my UDP and TCP traffic. The problem I had was someone was using my system through UDP protocols and churning out 1000kbs of data streams in like NO time. I don't even want to know WHAT was truly being done, only that I wanted it stopped. Now I have this program that runs in the background and helped me verify the critters were indeed gone. http://www.kiwisyslog.com/faq/syslog/syslog_faq.htm Others I used were: Spybot S&D - http://security.kolla.de Bazooka Spyware Scanner - http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/ Once I ran all of these (hijackthis in particular) -- my UDP system attacks stopped. Hope this helps! Apologies for being a bit off-topic, but with us relying on our systems for our work, and as broadband expands -- it is truthfully an extremely relevant topic to the list, right?
