Remote Access event ID 20158 and 20159

[Doug]

Running XP Home with an always on DSL connection
(firewalled

Upon reviewing my System event log I have discovered an
Information event ID 20158 Source: RemoteAccess
Description: "The user User Name successfully established
a connection to The Internet(2) using device IRDA10-1."
and then a while later I have a log entry ID 20159
Source: Remote Access and Descrption: "The connection to
the Internet(2) made by user User Name using device
IRDA10-1 was disconnected."

This has happened about 10 to 15 times over the last
month with the connection time varying.

I do not have an Infared device on my computer nor does
one appear in my device manager. I cannot find a user
account called User Name in my Users folder.

I am assuming this is an attempt by someone to gain
access to my computer but I am not sure. Since it is
showing up as an information log in my system directory I
am not sure what to make of it.

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks

I have also discovered the same problem. So, check this
out. Even with 2 firewalls and Norton. I ran a scan and it
came up with a Backdoor.IRC.Zcrew virus! A Trojan Horse.
My computor is no longer MY COMPUTOR! My CD tray opens and
closes all by it's self, My number lock goes on and off.
My mouse was set backwards. My display on screen was
inverted. My passwords stolen. I was fired as Admistrator
on my own Computor! The list goes on and on. I asked MS
Support for help and I guess they are too busy with Worms
(which I also had) then to worry about Viruses. I am still
trying to find a way to rid myself of this PARASITE! So,
if whoever is on my PC via Remote Access right now. I will
get you somehow. That's a promise.

I didnt' realize this post was so old, but I did a search of IRDA10-1
and saw it. This seems to be related to AOL and whenever AOL is opened
that message is generated in the event viewer. I've also noticed that
if I switch users with AOL running I get a message about Internet
Connection (1) running and do I want to close it. A message also
appears in the event viewer when AOL is disconnected. I think it's
just part of the junk AOL puts on a computer.
