Re: Trojan? DDOS Bot?

You appear to have been infected with one of a variety of Trojans - like
BO, NetBus, Sub7, etc.  Can't tell from the ports you show, since many of
the trojans are configurable for responses, U@H values when connecting to
IRC, listening ports, etc.

I've seen that same thing from the IRCAdmin side of the equation many
times.  We used to set up in the "target" channel and wait for the organic
to show up and claim it's bots.  Unfortunately, even when we'd dealt with
him, we'd often see stragglers from his botnet for weeks to come.

Advice - get some scanning software appropriate for your OS (Sorry, no
recommendation - I'm an *IX guy) and find the trojan.
