PC Connecting to 100s of SMTPs even with active firewall
Hi,
When I start up my computer I notice that there is a lot of traffic going over my internet connection, even though I am not doing anything on the internet.
I was told to run a program from the command line called netstat.
When I do this... it brings up 100s of smtps... saying established connection, time wait or close wait or fin wait or syn sent.
I believe i must be infected with some kind of virus or malware - however AVG or Spybot does not detect anything...
I have noticed a file called r.exe on the main system drive, im not sure what this is doing... if i delete it, it will reappear... 5 mins later...
any thoughts?
