Urgent help needed

My mail server is in Australia. I will see if I can find out anything with TCPView. I looked at system restore the other day and there wasn’t any restore points, I remember awhile back I was low on space on drive C:, I read a FAQ somewhere and they said I should disable system restore and I think I did. I might email Bell Canada and ask why they are coming up on my PC.

Thanks.

Okay since you're in Australia I assume that your mail server is not in Canada (the "dsl" portion of the host name suggest that it's a regular computer hooked up to DSL anyways). Do you remember installing any new software lately?

You can try looking at port 25 and see what info is being transfered using TCPView:

If it looks suspicious try doing a system restore to a week ago before it happened and see if that helps.

I am running windows xp pro sp2 with a DSL connection. For about a week I have been getting email pop-ups from my AVG showing AutoPOP3: connecting to bas8-toronto12-(some numbers).dsl.bell.ca. I updated my Pest Patrol done a scan and found a Trojan called pripi so I removed it but I kept on getting the pop-up even after a reboot, and then I used Ad-Aware SE and it didn’t find anything so I check my running processes with a few programs and everything looked right, I also checked my ports on the Shields up site and I am running in true stealth mode. All I can think is that a Trojan is hidden in a system file. Does anyone have any other ideas what is happening?
