Outgoing- security log sygate

**steve threlfall** · 09-12-2003, 07:20 PM

Helloa,

I think i have a bit of a problem here and im at a loss as to how to fix it.

I have sygate firewall and as of the past couple of days everytime i boot up or just at random points- eg when playing a game surfing etc, the security log box pops up and tells me theres an outgoing TCP thats an executable file and the severity of it is major

im worried

Is it spyware or a virus- AVG and adaware dont find it anything. It doesnt seem to have done anything because i block the "all active responses" whenever the sygate pop up appears.

Any ideas

Cheers

Ste

Well, what's the program file that's being all sinister? Or does it not tell you?

The trouble with software firewalls - they like to BS you every now and then just so you think they're actually useful

It just says exexcutable file, date time and the remote host. I think im gona have to format to get rid of this

Whats the remote host / IP ?

**steve threlfall** · 10-12-2003, 03:26 PM

Can't ping that ip! I wouldn't format... it tells you what program is doing what in the "running applications" section showing if you've allowed it or not. Check it out....

start msconfig and uncheck it in there first

for it to come back it has to be active or another program has to be active on boot to replace it so look thru the list for suspisious stuff
