Hi
I am running xp pro and as soon as I connect with the internet something is
downloading info off my computer. I have been able to find out where the info
is going---nfo.hopto.org & data.gigaset.org---does anyone know who or what
these are? I have run antivirus, ad-aware, malware etc and have not been able
to find and stop these programs. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
 
hopto.org is a URL redirector, gigaset.org is registered to some guy in the
Czech Republic. I'd be very suspicious of both - you need to find what
application(s) is phoning home. Are you running a software firewall with
outbound protection, such as ZoneAlarm?
