I have a program which shows the incoming and outgoing connections and 2-* TOR servers is showing up-all at once. They're connecting to my computer...I'm beginning to think they have my IP address, which if they do, I'll be doomed till my ISP changes it (it's comcast cable and they dont change them very often).
Most of my browsers are rendered useless...in fact, if I don't post again and reply on this you'll know WHY.
I had McAfee and Ad-Aware. According to McAfee logs, this has been going on at least the past 4 days. No wonder my Firefox died eventually.
I disconnected from the internet and installed Zone Alarrm Firewall and Avira Antivirus. Guess what? Zone Alarm got bypassed like McAfees firewall.
***..I'm sick of this. If they have my IP like I'm thinking, this wont quit till comcast changes it, llike I said.
I have Vista Home Premium, btw.
The question I have to start with is : How do I stop these TOR server connections? Does anyone have experience on this or some info on how to stop it once and for all?
Need help soon.....:mad:
Thanx ahead of time for replies.
P.S. Speaking of the IP change thing, anyone know how to get the IP to change by doing it myself. I'm on a home network using a D-Link router EBR-2**0 (wired router, not wireless), so what are the instructions on this (I couldn't find any using Google a long time ago and it's hard to surf to Google now..damnit).
P.S. Mind you, these TOR connections are made into my computer when I don't even have any browsers open and have had the computer off for a while. I'll reword that, I tried shutting the computer off for a while, then started it and after a few moments, there it is again! And I didn't even open any browsers yet.
Worse yet, when I was disconnected from the internet I removed any infections. But as soon as my internet connection was reconnected, these TOR inbound connections came right back.
