Hi,

Well I know I at least have something called Belt.exe to get rid of, as my Panda Antivirus/firewall blocked it from connecting to the internet.

I am relatively new to the IT world (basically learning on the job) and I just started to manage about 24 windows machines and a couple of Linux servers for a very small Non-Profit.

I've done complete virus scans and installed anti-virus/firewalls on all windows machines, but it seems we are still having viral/hijacking activity. Many scans and spoofing being blocked by Panda and our little Netgear security router. But I'm not sure if we are blocking it all.

A couple of weeks ago we got a report for our satellite internet service provider that we were using way too much upstream bandwidth (we're allowed 100MB a week), they say we were using +500MB/week. I did find a few instances of Klez and removed them. But I still have my suspisions that something else is going on, ie: virus, spam relay, etc. I don't think we would be much good to a "live" hijacker, so to speak, because of all the latency involved with satellites. But who knows.

Anyway, I think I should go to every windows machine and at least run Hijackthis and see what I come up with.

Here's the Hijackthis log from my computer (you'll notice that I deleted the Proxy address from one line and removed DNS server addresses as well on the last 3 lines. Should I be worried about conveying this info on a public forum?):

reboot, find and delete

C:\WINNT\Belt.exe

Other than that - not too bad. Let us know how you get on.
