Hey man. Feel free to edit the subject if u have too or if u think the IP address is for Security procetion u can edit the topic and block it out. I\'m going to copy my whole e-mail below. I have a Blasterworm virus. EDIT: I forgot to mention something. I get this virus even when re-installing a fresh copy of Win XP Pro.



Hi Derek

 

Thank you for the attachments, I can confirm that the trace is complete however I cannot confirm the target you are tracing to verify accuracy as the input has not been included. Are you tracing an IP address (ie n.n.n.n format) or a domain name (ie www.?. Format). I can double check if you would like further confirmation, just email me the target you used and I will further verify if that will help you.

 

MORE WORRYINGLY: Unfortunately you have the blaster worm virus on your system; this may explain why you have been asking about whether the trace is complete as this will cause excessive activity in the table. In the table below on port 135 (marked in red) you will see msblast.exe is communicating. You need to immediately firewall that port (135) and use some virus software to remove the virus. I recommend Symantec but otherwise any major Virus product will work.

Hi,

 

I\'m sending an attachment with 3 of them. Will you tell me from what you see did my trace finish?

Hi Derek,

 

Sorry for the delay, unfortunately we lost power to the house this evening and I had to take my family out for a meal. I think they bribed the power supply company!!

 

Anyway, the answer to your question is no, unlike VisualRoute CallerIP tracks the destination instantly and tells you the location immediately. As soon as you see the cross-hairs the location has been verified. The table at the bottom is really providing a new capability. It is tracking connections to your system in real-time (this is done continuously), the purpose being to alert you to when someone connects to you from the outside. The version you have is beta 5 which cannot distinguish outbound connections (ie you browsing to say yahoo.com) from in bound connections (ie a hacker attacking your system). Basically the table updates as soon as a connection inbound or outbound is established by your computer and it is up to you to know if the connection is good or suspect. CallerIP lets you click on the line item in the table CallerIP will look-up and validate the connecting address. Version beta 6 will be out in the next 24 hours, this version will highlight inbound versus outbound connections. I will send a copy when it passes Quality Assurance.

 

I hope this helps, let me know if not.

 

Best wishes

 

Julian

Hi,

 

When i see the numbers in the yellow table moving does that mean my trace is done? Or how do i tell if my trace is done?

Jay,

I remeber some time ago about a month ago. I did a Low Level Format to format my drive at the lowest possible which most people don\'t recommend. I believe it went through every sector on my drive and then i made my partitions using fdisk and formatted them and then re-installed Windows XP Pro and still had the virus. I still do now. That low level should of took care of it. I guess it didn\'t work. Thanx TM..

Like i said it\'s been about a month since i did that low level and that took about 12 hours straight and no it didn\'t take care of it so why would it be fixed if i do a normal format using one of the Windows discs?? When a low level completely formats the whole entire drive just like it came from the factory and that didn\'t fix it but that was about a month ago. And yes i still have the blaster worm virus. When i re-install windows i get the message something about the RPC and restarts my computer when i connect to the internet and not only that but the Blaster worm is no longer active and i still have it. Hope this helps.

I have Cmpaq. No it didn\'t come with Pro. It came with Home version. I like Pro better because home automatically puts it on my C: drive and formats and partitions it for me that\'s why i\'m not using home. What version and what OS r u using?? Thanx..

If you have an anti-virus and you update it regulary and also if you don\'t open attachments from people you don\'t know, you will never have a virus.

Derek, low level format is a process that is being done in there special situations as bad sectors. Do not do it again without reason. A format /q c: is enough!
