I KNOW what ICQ is, but malware loves to hide as legitimate names.
I see no reason for icq.exe to have all these ports open:
1069, 3670, 1069 205.188.5.228:5190 ESTABLISHED, UDP MAIN:1039 *:* 1216

and 205.188.5.228
is whois'd to an AOL account, but why should that be happening?

ANYWAYS: please search and tell me the info of icq.exe

Thanks.

sorry for the delay :(

google doesn't like the location ICQ is running from:
http://www.google.com/search?q=C:\Programs\Inet\ICQ\icq.exe

Do you know anything about this Inet?

edit: also, when did you install ICQ on your computer?

Yep, the location is quite normal. I install all my programs in the Programs folder, which then gets divided into Inet, Utilities, Image etc.. So the location is fine.
The date is OK as well - I recently reinstalled the whole system, including ICQ.
So I don't think my poor internet pager was hacked by the wicked virus.

ok. just checking :D
I dunno what's causing the prompts. If I were to guess, it would be kazza lite.

I will ask around... perhaps someone sees something I dont.

Doubtful. I've been using Kazaa for a long time, never had a problem. And all this stuff started happenning right after I visited some sites looking for cracks - so it is a virus (or spyware), not a program, that causing all this to happen.
