    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 my firewall (Look n Stop) 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 have TCPView, but it only displays in real time.

    You can use the Network tool, Whois, to look up the ip addresses you have posted.

    I'm not a Look n Stop expert but you MAY have a parasite that is trying to send out to that port on various ip sites, Blocking the port is fine or even the various ip's but that is like putting your finger in the dam to stop a flood.

    1) Post this question over on the Look n Stop forum ASAP

    2) You make no mention of your AV product or an ASW tool! Get a scan done on your PC ASAP you can use a free product like Antivir or a trial version of Nod32 or even go to a web based scan at McAfee or Norton.
    That will deal with the possibility of a virus

    3) Lacking any other name get the free version of SuperAntispyware and run it ASAP.

    If Look N Stop logs can't help id the application doing the UDP get OnLine Amour free or Outpost Pro free as they will find bad applications on your set up.

    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.

    Good, no parasite.

    What did Look n Stop say as yet?

    You may wish to run a Shields Up scan to see if any ports are still open.

    Failing these, I'd consider posting a Hyjack this at one of those support sites, Wilder's no longer does those.

    Another brut force method is to use a restore point from before the issue.

    What was the website(s) from your DNS look ups from those ip's?

    Please post an image of those here in the thread.

    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.

    I also have a SonicWall TZ 150 NAT router (its a SOHO router, stronger than the LinkSYS crap). It's configured to allow a small amount of ports to reach my network, i also configured it to block that port for an added layer of security.

    It doesn't look like websites, it looks like home computers.

    Here is the translation for your posted ip's.


    Many counties many locations.


    What was the direction of these packets? If they are all incoming then your PC is on a list somewhere and it is not a Trojan on your PC at all. Some are PC's located in businesses not home set ups.

    They were all outgoing.

    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: 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.

    I ran shields up test and all tests reported stealthed ports.
