Explorer.exe infected?

Earlier my firewall gave me a warning that explorer.exe was connecting to 206.46.248.249.

I have found out that the owner of this ip owns the site www.gte.net which redirects to http://netservices.verizon.net/porta...help/selection < Internet company?

Any idea whats happening :

Once done, please be patient, as the Security Team Analysts are usually very busy; one of them will answer your request as soon as they can.


Good luck

Please also remember DO NOT post your logs in this thread, please start a new thread here. (Just click on the coloured link.) and post the logs.

Kind regards.
