I noticed odd activity in my router logs; re-routing, admin pswd changes,etc...My laptop started to act up...slow, pages uavailable. Malware and virus tools found nothing unusual. Folders became unavailable, cmd screen flashes, bigger than usual font. Next was itunes and my iphone. Found several logs if iphone info saved on my desktop-which they would never be. Shortly thereafter my phone was locked and inaccessible. New router, 2 laptops and a new phone later and it hasnt stopped. This morning I found very odd activity, again in my router logs. I need help. I dont know if it is a person or a rootkit. Files will randomly add an extension or become hidden all together. My new 5 day old laptop had 312 registery fixes (zonealert). I attached screenshots of my router logs.
