I just removed the "IDPINCH TROJAN" using Spy Sweeper. According to Webroot, the maker of spy sweeper, it is rated very high, see this: http://research.spysweeper.com/searc...n%20Horse&rc=1

My Question is, I have a router, that comes in with one I. P. Address, and goes out with another I. P. Address, shouldn't this router stop this trojan spyware from going out to it's owner, or giving the owner control over anyone's computer?

Please explain the router's purpose if it isn't to stop this kind of things.

Thanks

Hey what’s going on man? Your router won’t and can’t stop malicious objects that include Trojans viruses hack packs you name it. Most routers are just used to allow more than one computer to get internet access. Routers can however be Encrypted making it hard for anyone to gain access to your signal and potentially your computer.
BTW spysweeper made by webroot is the best protections software on the market

A router will allow all traffic outbound, but your internal address is NATted and only the public address of the WAN interface is exposed to the internet. They can hit the WAN address all day long and not get to the computer inside. You need to change your account name mom boy and you don't have any idea what you are talking about, he is worried about internet based attacks not someone accessing his wireless.

I don't have a "wireless", mine is "hard wired". Just to let you know. Am I protected or not?

Webroot Antivirus/Spy Sweeper is falsely detecting a registry key associated with Windows Live Messenger as a trojan labeled 'LDPinch'. The registry entry is quarantined by Webroot Antivirus/Spy Sweeper, however, there is no severe impact to a user's system. The registry entry is simply restored after restarting the system.


Webroot has identified the erroneous detection and has removed the false positive from the latest definition update. Webroot Antivius/Spy Sweeper will automatically update itself once the definition update is available. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this false positive, please feel free to contact our Support Team by going to http://webroot.custhelp.com/ and submit a question to us by clicking on "Ask A Question"
