    I was told by Escalader to post my problem in this form.

    For the past 2 weeks or so my computer has been trying communicate on 1 specific port a few dozen times per day.

    Each time it happens, it goes to a random bunch of IPs.

    The port is UDP 32996.

    I set up Look n Stop and my router to block it, but im still worried about it.

    Find below part my firewall log of the occurrences:

    Any idea what it is? Is that port safe? How do i find out which application is trying to access the internet?

    I ran scans with Malware Bytes Anti-Malware, NOD 32, SuperAntiSpyware and Spybot S & D and they didnt detect anything.

    Oddly enough though, when i try running an online scan at a place like Trend Micro. I get a java error saying installation failed.

    Hi,

    You can try to observe the connected applications from the Application filtering tab.

    Otherwise you can use the full log attribute (!!) for allowed applications.
    Select it only for few applications at a time (this is to not overload the log), and check the log if you see the port you mentioned.

    Regards,

    Frederic

    I restored my OS from a 4 month old ghost (i have Acronis True Image Home). I'm currently running it in safe mode and running a scan at Trend Micro Housecall. Once the scan completes, even if it doesnt find anything; i'll probably just reinstall windows.

    EDIT:

    I forgot to mention, i did an online Virus/Trojan scan with ESET Online Scanner. It didnt detect anything.

    I just installed a fresh copy of Vista and the Trend Micro Housecall online scan is finally working.

    EDIT x2: Online Scan finished, it found a few trojan in some really old rar's i downloaded a few years ago (but havent executed in several years), i deleted them all.
