O.P. A virus that Steal connection^o)
Hey guys i was somehow confused when i heard that, i can't beleive it i mean

Look :) my friend always used to suffer from his bad connection

he has 128k broadband

now he's almost getting the half of that, when he called his ISP ! they came to check his cables found nothing, check manything but nothing
so they told him this : " You have a kind of VIRUS that steal connection, by using it :S !! and it make ur connection low, and always disconnecting "

i really dont believe that coz it's impossible, i mean that guy have 0 virus he scan everyday, and has latest updates, he use anti spyware anti adware everything.

they said : "This type of virus cant be catched but such programs"
hehe what bullshit is this :P

so what would u think is this !!

while pinging we find manytimes a Request timed out !!

and i still believe that it's a problem with their network

BTW : WHen they were making the cables setup 5 months ago , the cabel was less than they need , so they attached another cable to the original one, by removing the outer rubber and attach the metal wires to each other, each one to its same one on the other side :)" but the connectiom 1st was cool until later on after 2 month


so after all u read ! anyone ever heard about such virus or program

cause i'm afraid to have such thing :S

and what may causes this, ELSE than a server troubles ??

is it the network cables and the hubs and switched and routers , or access points !! or what

the cable is comming from the roof of the building , and i think there is a switch ont he roof not an access point




thanks guyss in advance  :)

i'm sorry if i have to repeat it again, but yet again you have no idea what you are talking about.



i seriously think you're talking about a botnet virus or a ddos'ing tool... best thing to do is list your processes (and maybe a hijackthis log, it might be useful. don't ask me how to make it though, i am sorry, i don't use those programs) and post them here. also, you could use netstat or some third-party tool to check if you have open connections on port 6667 (a regular irc port).

And stripping a cable and attaching them together is not a good idea :P

There are special connectors for that, and if the cable is longer than 200 meters (which I don't think will be the case :)), will cause packet dropping too

Probably a BOTNET, or maybe he just forgets random P2P (KaZaA, e2dk) programs open, which do eat ALOT of b/w.

have a fun read. it's basicly a program waiting on your pc waiting for what someone tells it to do. and someone is probably using it to attack a website using your computer (and thousands of others)

Well, what i think you're talking about is the virus/trojans/malwares/etc... wich spread theirself over the internet, this could be the reasons the conection is very slow and it's common also on dial-up users, i said this because i had this problem when i had dialup.
