By chance do you run or have you ever run any webcam programs such as TeVeo? TeVeo creates a file called startup.log which looks similar. I have seen this file appear on my desktop from time to time: it also is clear that the file is for the camera and IP logging purposes. However, this does not mean that older versions of this software do the same. Here's an example of the logfile created when I turned my camera on and viewed it from the same machine: CONNECTION: [02/10/03 21:08 UTC] 127.0.0.1 Brenna ********************************************************* http://gsa.creighton.edu/members/~drxlecter/brenna.htm http://profiles.yahoo.com/absolut_contagion AIM - absolutxpsycho ICQ - 1363187 YIM - absolut_contagion MSN - r00t () creighton edu *********************************************************

I've searched mail archives and google, but didn't find
anything
about this. The file contains: (Last octet of IP removed) CONNECTION: [01/26/03 21:50 UTC] 62.163.176.xx CONNECTION: [01/26/03 21:56 UTC] 67.192.41.xxx CONNECTION: [01/26/03 22:01 UTC] 67.192.41.xxx CONNECTION: [02/06/03 08:46 UTC] 65.65.81.xxx CONNECTION: [02/06/03 08:46 UTC] 65.65.81.xxx CONNECTION: [02/06/03 08:49 UTC] 80.194.40.xxx CONNECTION: [02/06/03 09:06 UTC] 144.134.163.xx CONNECTION: [02/06/03 09:11 UTC] 216.249.81.xx CONNECTION: [02/06/03 09:46 UTC] 136.165.87.xxx CONNECTION: [02/06/03 09:47 UTC] 211.28.63.xxx After resolving a few of them, these are all people I know pretty well
on
IRC. I can't figure out what's causing this - I don't use a mIRC
script, I
don't have a firewall (XP firewall is disabled) -- I do have Norton
2003
Pro. I'm using Windows XP Pro on Service Pack 1a, but the file was
created
before I installed SP1a I've checked my process list, and there's nothing running that
shouldn't
be. Has anything seen something similar or know what's causing this? Thanks. -- Patrick Fish ----------------------------------------------------------------------
