Re: Suspect Modem Activity



I mentioned in one of my earlier posting that my registry had an entry
clients1.google.com

I deleted the entry, how did it get into my registry in the first place?

It has not appeared again in the registry even 3 day later

I know that this is a security/virus news group, thats the reason i posted
this message here.

I generally ignore all messages which direct to some webpages or talk about
installing some software, there is no way i will do that, HijackThis this
was an exception, since it comes from a well-known firm.

But what HijackThis display is way beyond my capacity to understand.

Look, saying "...my Modem and even HD seem to overly active..." are mere
symptoms.

Your modem lights flicker based upon Internet activity. Use Wireshark and
other programs
to actually see the IP activity.

The same goes for hard disk activity. Use disk monitoring software.

The fact is normal opertion will cause both disk and modem light activity
and stating you
have or don't have either activity is frankly.... meaningless.

Even the topic of this subject is vague. "Suspect Modem Activity" becaus
eyou see the
light flashing.
"When i start my browser, it goes to google, i find that the modem's adsl
light flicker
for about 12-15 seconds."

Big deal. This is a security/virus news group. We don't care if your
lights flash
because that's NORMAL and I haven't seen anything indicative of malicious
activity in your
posts. Nor have I seen you do ANYTHING to help identify possible
malicious activity.
