bullet Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I think that my machine is infected with some sort of undetecable spyware. If I open a command prompt and run the netstat -a command it displays all of the active ports on my computer. On 6 ports there is an entry of ads.rediff.com and it is listening. I have ran a full AdAware scan, and ran HiJack this neither could find anything to do with this ads.rediff.com thing. I even searched the registry for "rediff" and could not find a single entry. However, it still remains. I am not sure if this is realated or not but there is a huge blank space in my add/remove programs list. It is probably about 100 pages long. I am not sure if the blank space is causing the listening ports of not. I can't get rid of it either. If anyone has any idea then please help. Thanks
raskren Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Is the state "Listening" or "Time_Wait"?You probably visited a website with an ad that was hosted on ads.rediff.com. Restart the computer and run netstat again to see if ads.rediff.com still exists. If it does, or the state is "Listening" then there could be something there.
bullet Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 I've restarted and the entry still exists. It's state is "Listening" FYI: The O.S is fully up to date
raskren Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I've restarted and the entry still exists. It's state is "Listening" FYI: The O.S is fully up to date<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Don't forget "up to date" doesn't mean "secure." Do you have any anti-spyware apps installed? MS Antispyware?If you're running XP SP2 check the Windows Firewall exception list for anything you don't recognize. Do you currently use any ad supported software?Finally, check msconfig for suspicious non-Microsoft services as well as suspicious startup items.P.S. The data for Add/Remove programs is in the registry. I'll see if I can dig it up.
firefoxthebomb Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Download MS Antisypware and install and run it. Remove anything it finds. Also run like registry mechanic on your registry to look for errors to try and clean up those spaces. Then let us know what you found.
bullet Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 The only ad supported software that I have installed is Opera. I will try the MS antispyware and registry mechanic.
Weazle Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 In Xp Sp2 there is a new optionnetstat -b this displays the process too So you can see wich process is making which connection
bullet Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 I install the MS AntiSpyware and it didn't find anything related to my problem. Installed Registry Mechanic and even though it is a neat little program it didn't help either. I still have the big gap in my add/remove programs list and I still have the ads.rediff.com Listening on various ports. The netstat -b shows Active connections and it did not show any of the ads.rediff.com ports so at least they are not constantly active. Who knows.Does anyone have any more ideas?
Weazle Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Maybe you can make a Hijacked Logfile and post it here.I 'll take a look at it thenYou can download Hijacked on this linkDon't delete everything in the hijacked log that you find!! because there are always a lot of things that may not be deleted

bullet Posted March 17, 2005 Author Posted March 17, 2005 Nevermind about this problem. It gave me a good reason to use my unattend CD. Thanks for trying.
