Sometimes my computer lags loading h.264 files into media player classic and zoom player - it will hang sometimes.
Computer doesn't go into "standby" mode ... its standby mode became just shutting the harddrives down and leaving everything else on. Hibernate works like it should. Shut downs take long... around 2~3mins.
In cmd window, netstat shows that my computer is connecting to itself.
My computer never used to act this way... it's got decent specs so I don't know why it lags loading stuff it should be able to handle easily. if it's normal for something like that to happen, then i guess it's ok.
Here's a screenshot of netstsat:

Hello!
Lets get the Netstat info on a textfile so it is easier to read. Please post that log for me to see.
So on command prompt window run this command.
netstat -b > \textfile.txt
You will find the log in here: E:/textfile.txt
Notice: Keep in mind that if you have network applications open, such as the browser you're using to view this page, additional items will be listed when you run "netstat" and/or the "netstat -b" command.
If you want a true listing of what is running in the background, close all programs and run the command.
Hello!
I have asked one of the Server Support Administrators to help me with this. He would like to know if you have installed this program: mIRC-->"G:\sysreset\mirc.exe" -uninstall. Are you using it as fileserver, this might explain few things. Could you also post a new Hijackthis log.
Yes I did install that program many years ago. I used to fileshare tv shows back in 2002. I don't anymore and I haven't since 2003 because the channel closed and I lost interest in watching American television (NBC Universal sent me cease and desist letter through my ISP). It is now a means of communication for people playing Utopia, which I do. Let me make this clear: I do not fileshare anymore. I do, however, download fansubs off channels in rizon.
anyway... irc stuff:
irc.utonet.org (#confessions, #privateconfession)
rizon (#eclipse, #shinsen-subs, #gg...)

Hello!
Server Support Administrator who is helping me ask me to run this program. He will then analyze the log for me.
Running Wireshark
I need you to download a program called
Wireshark and installed it.
This program tells us what is being sent and received by your machine.
Once it is installed, reboot your machine and make sure all the programs that you normally use are active.
DO NOT use SKYPE or IRC while running this program.
- Start Wireshark, and select the Icon underneath the "file" tab (1)
- It may only have one option available, if so select that option.
- If it has more than one option then select the option that has your IP address next to it and click start.
- Run it for 15 minutes, click the Stop icon (2)
- Now click the Save Icon (3)
- Save the log where you can find it.
- Post the log here.(You may have to upload the log file rather than posting it, depending on the file size.)

o_o; lots of stuff came up. it's bigger than 256Kib compressed...
the thing's 1.79mbs. I ran it for 15 mins...
http://veraledaine.bol.ucla.edu/
on it should be a link to download the .pcap
Hello!
Thank you for doing that. It will take some time to go through the log.
Regards
Bio-Hazard
We have several issues to address... First, this machine has been used as a file server and still has software installed that makes it as vulnerable to malware infections as a computer running P2P software. Currently, you state the following:
It is now a means of communication for people playing Utopia, which I do. Let me make this clear: I do not fileshare anymore. I do, however, download fansubs off channels in rizon.
Therefore, given that its current configuration permits outside access, it is highly probable that this system would very likely be reinfected as soon as it is put back into service. Secondly, this forum is geared toward removing malware from home computers, and we are not equipped to deal with infected servers. Lastly, this machine is badly infected and the best results would be obtained by reformatting it.
In short, as cleaning this machine would likely be ineffective, and servers fall outside the scope of this forum, we are unable to assist you.
Can you at least give a few names of infections you could identify?
And by format, I assume you mean that all three drives be wiped clean? or should I just purchase new drives and hope none of my academic work is 'infected' (eg .doc, .pdf)
[edit]
I forgot to express my gratitude. Seeing all those connections to myself confirmed my suspicions but I also am wary of the university's Resnet.
last question:
Are all drives infected?
In the context that if I reformat only one drive, will the infection come back solely because I did not reformat the other drives? Assume I never touch bittorent or IRC ever again meaning that the sysreset on G:\ is deleted. The only programs that will be on here are AIM, word processing, adobe, firefox, antivirus.
Barkin,
It would be pointless to begin describing the various infections and attempting to list all their names as infections rarely, if ever, have uniform names. Often, each anti-virus company will append a name of their own choosing to an infection, e.g., each infection will have multiple names.
Ultimately, the decision on what to do rests with you; however, it would be in your best interest to reformat all your drives. I'm sorry we don't have better news for you, but that is the best advice we can offer.
As this issue involves a server and therefore falls outside the scope of this forum, this topic is now closed.
