First of all: thanks for the pretty extensive reply!

My provider (XS4ALL) - one of the biggest in Europe - is doing a massive
migration with it's newsservers *and* upgrading the speed at the same these
last days.

But no one in my provider-newsgroup is complaining , so ...

I changed the first DNS with a more 'reliable' one, but no effect.

You forgot about the missing Marslander ;-)

On the client yes (browser loosing connection), but on the server everything is
working ok.

I did that, except for the cookies (are being handled by Ad-Aware
automatically).

Defaults settings of what?

Is running all the time.

I will try this one.

Yes, VCom's SystemSuite is always on.

But someone pointed me in the directon of an online Trojan scannner and that
did find sdomething:

Starting scan at 16:45:53:10...

Finished scan at 16:53:04:170
Total number of files is 21684, number of infected files is 3
Average files per second is 50, average file size is 8909500

However: when I run 'The Cleaner', SystemSuite or Symantec AV none of these
will confirm this and declare the system for clean.

It seems that 'FTP99cmp' is a password stealing Trojan on port 1492.

Got any further suggestions?

Thanks!
