I seem to have a virus which is sending out emails. I would have never known this if it weren't for my ISP blocking all email (even good ones) from going out on my IP address. My computer (Windows 2003) has one network adapter, and it connects to a router with a static IP address. However, when I look at my router's status page, I see 10 clients in the DHCP table all with the same host name. My guess is that this virus has created 10 instances of a virtual network adapter, and is using those addresses to send spam mail. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I have tried several anti-virus scans and software firewalls, but they all listen on my static IP, and not the virtual addresses. Anyone have any suggestions? >> Stay informed about: Worm that uses multiple virtual network adapters?
