Solved: strange traffic generated on pc sporatically

Hello all, I am here for my sister's computer which runs windows vista ultimate 32 bit edition. The computer runs fine except, the only thing is that every once in a while i notice large amounts of traffic coming from this machine moving across the computer's router. I find it a little suspicious...The only fix i can find to this is to go to the pc, and disable then enable her wireless adapter and then when the adapter recconects the problem goes away. I have a bad feeling i am dealing with a bot trojan that could be lurking in the system background. I am posting an hjt log and after this i will be running avg antivirus scan, avg rootkit finder, and spybot search and destroy after an update. After i will report results.

 

Updates: ran superantispyware, and no detections except for some tracking cookies, AVG still running but nothing reported as of yet except a reading error on the boot sector (probably protected by something) but no detections on this thing, next i will run the rootkit finder.

 

avg rootkit finder, nothing. What is next?

this thing always seems to get burried in here...bump.

The log looks fine.

 

So what would be the next step then? If there is nothing wrong virus wise i would assume i am dealing with a faulty program or some bug in her system somewhere. Glad to hear it is not malware however.

 

Post in the Vista forum with the information from your post #1 minus the HJT log.

 

Ok thank you, just wanted to rule out spyware.

 

Sure, no problem!
