Hi all,

Every time I booted up my computer (WinXP) and before I do anything at
all, I opened Zonealarm log and I saw "Windows Explorer tried to
connect to 82.98.235.62:80". I already scanned with Norton AV,
Lavasoft's AdAware and Search&Destroy and found nothing.

The IP shown is a domain in Belgium. Did I get a virus or trojan? For
the moment, I just blocked everything going to that domain.
Please advise. I would appreciate your help very much.
Thank you.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm attempting to clean up from
an infection and this happens on my PC.

Thanks,

Drew
 
No, I didn't receive any reply. I ended up restoring my C: drive with
a backup copy I made a few weeks ago and I didn't see it anymore.
Something must got in after I made that backup.
