I recogniced some weird connections from my box (w98)
to other computers. As soon as i connect to the
internet a connection from local port 1026 to port 6667
on 65.185.135.125 was established. I connected to that
server and it is an irc server (MusIRC Internet Relay
Chat Network). I found a bot using my adress with a
random name made up of letters. 

0wn4g3 details ommitted...

I couldnt find a freeware tool to find out which
process is using this specific irc connection, nor did
a scan with f-prot or housecall or panda reveal any
viral or trojan activity.

Any help or info would be really appreciated. Thanks in
advance

For MS products as I assume you are using
from the MIRC usage, check out the excellent tools
the folks at www.sysinternals.com put out.
(My thanks to them if they are reading
for they are truly useful to me...)

There was another lsof like tool for windows
called "inzider" you might want to look at too...

cheers,
