I'm running Win2k Pro. I checked nestat -a the other day and found out I'm connected to www.whitehouse.gov. I figured I must be infected with some kind of virus. None of my anti virus programs found anything. I did some research and found out it might be code red virus on IIS server. I tried to clean it with different clearners from eyee or MSFT but no luck. So I said no biggy I'll reinstall. I formated my partition and reinstalled win2k but virus was there again when i got online. weird stuff. I formated again and repartition thinking it might be in my mbr. but as soon as i start surfing around i get established connections to www.whitehouse.gov again.
nestat looks like this :
TCP xxx:1191 www.whitehouse.gov:http ESTABLISHED
TCP xxx:1192 www.whitehouse.gov:http ESTABLISHED
TCP xxx:1193 www.whitehouse.gov:http ESTABLISHED
TCP xxx:1194 www.whitehouse.gov:http ESTABLISHED
TCP xxx:1202 uscu-secure01-1.symantec.com:https TIME_WA
TCP xxx:1211 uscu-secure01-1.symantec.com:https TIME_WA
TCP xxx:1215 66.102.9.104:http ESTABLISHED
TCP xxx:1217 origin2.microsoft.com:http ESTABLISHED
TCP xxx:1218 origin2.microsoft.com:http ESTABLISHED
if i nslookup www.whitehouse.gov i get akamai server
