Random executables keep trying to access my internet!

Post by moronicdragon »

I don't know if this is really the place to put this, but I could really use some help here. .exe's with random names keep trying to access my internet. ZoneAlarm's blocked literally over a dozen in the past half hour. I've recorded ten names so far: XeYFpB.exe, XPdbrH.exe, r1GdDs.exe, CZoKRr.exe, 992dllb.exe, SHFH0h.exe, 4lUsJP.exe, bnAPcb.exe, iRyByJ.exe, and AbwGyB.exe. They've all got the same destination IP, so I know they're related: 24.71.233.138:HTTP. I don't know what they are but it's obviously not something I want on my computer. Can somebody help me out here?

When is the last time you updated and scanned for a virus? You need to do this first then is nothing if found check back, and we'll go from there. Download AdAware too, and run that too.
If I could remember all I have forgotten, I would be a smart man.
