373656 2005-07-19 23:13:00 Hi folks.

Every so often my user name for dial up changes. For example, last night I went off line, had tea and when I came back to sign on again my user name had disappeared and the letter "k" was showing in its place, in the dial up window. This occurs perhaps once a fortnight or so.

Any reason why this is happening?? I have counterspy and NOD32 installed.

Thanks Smithie :(

373657 2005-07-20 06:15:00 All a bit odd. Just to make sure nothing nasty is lurking in the depths of your machine, download HijackThis (www.majorgeeks.com) and then paste the generated log here (www.hijackthis.de) and see what is flagged. The online analyser is not perfect, so check what items are flagged as suspicious before deleting them. If you are not sure, then post your log here. :) Jen (38)
373658 2005-07-20 08:07:00 Hi Jen
Thanks for your reply. I am definitely unsure of what to delete from the following log, and would appreciate your expert guidance. The only nasty showing up is item no 017.

I await your advice

Thanks Smithie

373659 2005-07-20 11:03:00 If that happened to me I would suspect a rogue dualer. I would try deleting the current dialup and creating a new one. Trawling thu a HiJack this log is great but I don't know enough about everything present. Tried other malware busters like AdAware and Spybot S & D? Or trendmicro where you can get a virus scan and trojans etc. scan? HTH.....m mark c (247)
373660 2005-07-20 11:26:00 That log looks clean to me.

The only entry that would be suss, would be this 1

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{766C7AE7-5828-4F87-AED7-BFDB6DF9C661}: NameServer = 203.96.152.4 203.96.152.12

If this wasnt your ip address then.

And this C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\E_S4I3T 1.EXE

But this might be for the printer.

373661 2005-07-20 11:33:00 I would suspect you or someone else pressed the letter "k" Rob99 (151)
373662 2005-07-20 22:43:00 Hi everyone and thanks for your replies.

mark c - If the problem persists I will try deleting the current dial up and creating a new one as suggested by you as a last resort. In addition to counterspy I have Ad Aware and Spybot S & D so should be okay there.

S G - The only entry showing up by Hijack This as a "nasty" is item 017 and as the ISP numbers are not mine I feel safe to delete this one in particular.

Rob99 - I know I do some silly things at times but to press the letter k and this becomes my user name would mean I would need to go first to "change user name". I know I didnt do that.

However I appreciate all your comments and thanks again

The IP addresses in O17 are for Paradise's DNS.
PaulD (232)
373664 2005-07-21 00:34:00 Paul, what do the initials DNS stand for? So therefore if they belong to Paradise's DNS are you saying I should not delete that particular item from my Hijack This list.

I havent done anything stupid yet so no harm has been done

Smithie
smithie 38 (6684)
373665 2005-07-21 00:46:00 Those ip addresses are the Preferred/Alternate ip addresses for Paradise .

. paradise . net . nz/access . html" target="_blank">www2 . paradise . net . nz

The Domain Name System is the system that translates Internet domain names into IP numbers . A "DNS Server" is a server that performs this kind of translation .

I would leave entry 017 alone . Otherwise u may not get on the net, until u re-enter them in properties in the dialup .

(On XP, it should work with or without them anyway) .
