Its strange but i would surely like to know how the name "Girlnextdoor_" came into your hosts file. Was it some application that did that ?

"Girlnextdoor_" TCP Ports 1025/1028
Hi Folks, Thanks for everybody help in this matter. It was the HOSTS file on the local Win2k desktop : ------------------------------------------- # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. 127.0.0.1 localhost 0.0.0.0 Girlnextdoor_ ------------------------------------------- I removed the second line "Girlnextdoor_" and it was replaced by the local host name in the netstat -a command. And Yes, I had already run all the basic tools, like Foundstone Fport/Vision, SpyBot adware search & destroy....etc, nothing unusual shows up. Thanks again, nice teamwork !
