Hello everyone , this is my problem if anyone can help thank you very much.

I am on dialup and when I connect to the internet right before any browser will open my Zonealarm notifys me that:

1.) SVCHOST.exe wants to connect to- [removed]: PORT 1900

Then directly after this first instance again.

2.) SVCHOST.EXE again wants to connect now to- 209.244.0.3


Then my registry adds the following type of keys-

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{282296E9-CA33-4AA1-9C52-429506FFCAFD}: NameServer = 209.244.0.3 209.244.0.4
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\..\{282296E9-CA33-4AA1-9C52-429506FFCAFD}: NameServer = 209.244.0.3 209.244.0.4


Attached is my HJT Log, if anyone could possibly offer any solution to how I may stop this Dual SVCHOST.exe issue as I beleive the second instance of it (IP# : [removed]) is some trojan.

I have scanned online and locally with several products but nothing ever is detected
