Hi.
I asked because some IP addresses are malicious but in this case i think it's ok.I have ABSOLUTELY no idea either, and i was wondering "why did you ask?"
Are you're searches still being redirected i need to know?
As to what is causes excessive downloading there is nothing in you're logs that would cause that.
Your computer was infected with a ROOTKIT. In particular, the TDL3/TDSS rootkit, also known as Win32/Alureon. A rootkit is a set of software tools intended for concealing running processes, files or system data from the operating system.
Due to its rootkit functionality, it's impossible to tell what may have been done when the system was compromised.
Therefore once you're PC is clean it may be prudent to:
- Call all your banks, financial institutions, credit card companies and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and put a watch on your accounts.
- Change all your passwords (ISP login password, your email address(es) passwords, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, Amazon, online groups and forums and any other online activities you carry out which require a username and password)
What are rootkits from Wikipedia
How do I respond to a possible identity theft and how do I prevent it
