I use Live Messenger and a file sent to me was blocked. I have a wireless
adapter and connect to my neighbours router (yes she gave me the access code)
and I ussualy have a wireless connection logo in the system tray. When I
started up the pc the other night I had an extra icon showing a cable
connection to another computer. I also now have a modem installed in device
manager. I think it is my neighbours computer which I am connecting to but
aint to sure as neither of us is experts. The pc is also running much slower
now. I'd love to know of anyway of identifying a deliberate attack from
someone. Here's what the modem log says.

Disconnect from your neighbor's wireless connection and scan for malware.
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/sysclean.asp
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
Be sure to download the anti-spyware pattern file as well as the anti-virus
pattern file. The anti-spyware file is "ssapiptn.da5".
Follow the instructions given and place the anti-spyware patterns file in
the same folder as the other downloads.
If it cleans your computer find another connection for future use. Your
neighbor may not be a very good network security administrator.

Use another connection besides your neighbor's to download the Trend Micro
Sysclean package. If you can use dialup, that will work for now.
