My 13 year old son was, apparently, browsing some unsavory websites on
my PC last night. About an hour after he went to bed, I returned to the PC
and see this "Play 2p" icon in the tray - apparently uploading *something*
to the internet at 60 % of my bandwidth.
I couldn't find any more info because I couldn't find a GUI. What
was it uploading ?
I was able to stop it, and a quick look at the internet revealed very little
info
about his app. There was nothing in add/remove programs, but I did find a
an associated uninstall program for it, in the hidden folder
\documents and setting\userid\recent
Furthermore, my Avast anti-virus didn't flag anything and the
realtime mode of Windows Defender had been disabled.
I attempted to use System Restore, but it failed.
At this point, Play 2p appears to be uninstalled; Spybot Search and
Destroy and Malwarebytes hasn't found anything. I'm going to
disable/re-enable system restore so it starts fresh.
Any info or tips to proceed appreciated. (OS is XP sp3/IE 8/Firefox)
According to the IE 8 History, at least some of my son's extra-curricular
browsing was done in there,
with records of 3 links to adult WMV video's.
