I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this strange
problem I have developed. I have four PCs at home all using a US
Robotics Router to connect to the Internet. One is Win XP with SP1 me)
and the others are XP with SP2. We all use static IP-addresses and Mac
address security. Recently we had a SYN-attack which paralysed our
Internet connection. I have now included a 64-bit web-key and twigged
the registry to limit SYN conection.
Suddenly I noticed that I have inherited this strange Dial up
Connection called "ENTER" which was using my LAN card. Since I never
use the LAN card, I disabled it and that Dial Up Conncetion called
"ENTER" went away - but only for a short while. It reappeared once
again as "ENTER" but this time it is trying to use teh Broadband
Connection on a WAN Minipoort(PPPoE). I have disabled and firewalled it
but on and off it tries to "connect" using a telephone number "5". When
its trying to connect, the internet connection stops. When I cancel the
connection it retries the connection a few times and finally I can
continue. The biggest problem is that my internet speed has gone dpwn
and I can't "delete" this connection at all. Strangely it has created
two DNS addresses it wants to use - 62.232.158.84 and 64.156.31.63
which do not exist.
What kind of bug/virus/trojan is this ? Anybody seen this ?
Please help !!!
