My computer is sending more packets than it recieves. (About 10-15% more once I actually open a browser. When the computer is initially turned on but hasn't been touched, it sends about 60-70 packets and recieves about 10-15.) When I am not using the internet actively, the packets sent either slow to a crawl or stop completely. However, I know it isn't normal to send so many packets.
I can't imagine a non-malicious reason for this.
I am but a lowly humanities student with minor computing skills, but it seems that when I download 100 MB, I shouldn't be consistently sending more packets than I recieve. I fear that I am either part of a DDoS / DRDoS attack, or I am being monitored by some loathsome keystroke-recording program.
I reformatted my hard drive last night, and installed, updated, and ran all of these programs immediately:
Cleanup!
Ad-Aware
CWShredder
Spybot
SpywareBlaster
ewido
Trend Micro Online
Spyware Guard
ZoneAlarm Firewall
AVG antivirus
Trojanhunter
...but I am still sending packets galore, still at the 10-15% more-sent-than-recieved rate. (Fortunately, I can connect to the internet, which was well-nigh impossible before the reformat. Of course, I was also using Norton instead of AVG or ZL)
I am currently running Windows 2000, and have IE6.
So with much reluctance, here is my Hijack This log. Let me know what else I should do, please!
