I’m using Win XP Pro (w/ SP3 V3244)in my home network. Firewall on. My PC has 2 user profiles – Admin and my day to day power user acct “JERRY”. About a week ago I couldn’t access anymore my GMail Notifier & Yahoo Messenger. For gmail it says: “An error has occurred. Can not login to mailbox (12029). Unable to connect to server”. In yahoo it says: “There was a problem signing into Yahoo Messenger. Please try again a little bit later.”
I tried both programs on my other PCs in my network and it works fine. I tried it again on my PC with the ADMINISTRATOR account and also works fine. So what happened to my user profile “jerry”? Have I been hacked and compromised? I have traced it using process ID and netstat and found that its trying to connect to an IP address in China: 202.115.130.23 (http://whois.domaintools.com/202.115.130.23).
How do I fix this problem? I have checked with NOD32 but found no problem, used CCleaner and cleaned the whole drive, used SpyBlaster as prevention even before this happened.
So what seems to be my problem and how do I fix this? Thanks to every one who can shed light on this matter.
