I put this in the general discussion group earlier, but
got no replies. My wifes PC has somehow got some unknown to its network. I found them when checking ZoneAlarms firewall trusted/internet zone. One is a "PPP adapter", the other is "Microsoft TV/Video 3.0.0.2/255.255.255.255 adapter subnet". I cannot find these elsewhere to remove them. They have been installed recently and my wife, as usuial, has no clue where they came from or what they are. Does anyone know? I tried to run trojanscan.com free trojan scan, but it has locked up twice. Does anyone have any ideas what this stuff is?? DAVID HHHHH |

If there are any connections that you don't want, delete them and run Ad-aware and/or Spybot to eliminate whatever created them. Does the computer have a TV card or USB camera installed? That could be the TV/Video connection. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Thanks,
We have broadband so I don't know how the dailup modem was reinstalled. There is no TV card on her PC. I'll shut down the modem again and try to find the source of the TV/video adapter. >-----Original Message----- >In article <237d901c45eaf$b5cf3580 $(E-Mail Removed)>, "DAVID HHHHH" ><(E-Mail Removed)> wrote: >>I put this in the general discussion group earlier, but >>got no replies. >>My wifes PC has somehow got some unknown to its network. >>I found them when checking ZoneAlarms firewall >>trusted/internet zone.

I removed both of these with no problems. Often run
adaware etc, but none of them detected these. So don't know if ligit or not---somehow I doubt it. Don't know how they ever got on in the first place >-----Oriected find these elsewhere to remove them. >>They have been installed recently and my wife, as usuial, >>has no clue where they came from or what they are.
