Hi,
Recently I shifted to ghaziabad and then I take BSNL Broadband connection.Now the problem start.
As soon as i connected to net so many viruses start coming every time and then suddenly my download/upload meter (DU Meter) is start showing Heavy Uploading.

Suddenly I check and I shocked, it was showing 1 GB Uploading in 15 min???

What is this. I didn't upload/download at that moment.

How to stop this. Is it possible to check who connected all of a sudden and what he upload??

Any software by using I can lock uploading?

Is it possible to see the file name if some one is uploading

I am using nortan antivirus 9.0 and hre BSNL will start BSNL icon using WAN Miniport using PPPOE

One of the virus file name is File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\gff6.exe

Get a reliable antivirus and do a full system scan.Even a free antivirus would serve the purpose if you regularly update it.

To quick heal this issue, download Malwarebytes antimalware and do a scan.

very first thing are you still using XP??
if yes shift to windows 7 a full windows format will be real helpful.I know loosing data is a real sad thing but sometime you have to giveup on something for a better future...

and install kespersky pure 30days trail and enjoy a safe environment.. :D

But is it possible to stop uploading 100% or see who and what files are going through my system. I am just attaching 2 files which shows 264 MB uploading in 5 min and 1 gb in 1 hr, even then i was not doing anything at that time (du meter data) . Who and what was uploaded, how to know that. I am more worried because i am using limited gb plan

I already install Malwarebytes and hitman pro.

BSNL is a ADSL connection. So the upload speeds should be considerably lesser compared to ur download speed. For uploading 265 MB in 5Min, it you should upload at 900KBytes per sec. Then the upload connection speed should be 7200Kbytes ps = 7Mbps. This is impossible.

What is your plan in BSNL ?

install a firewall. Like Kerio . You willl be able to conttrol which processes are allowed to upload/download. This way you can stop any process from uploading

Hmm weird. Are you using WiFi? I mean it is possible the traffic is being bombed through the WLAN.

thanks all. Even i under stand its almost impossible. previously when i was in Bangalore there it was always on connection. password in dsl router (modem),Here bsnl guy has created a short cut in desktop every time i have to double click and put id/ p/w and it says connecting using WAN Mini port PPPOE.

My only concern is my plan is home 500C (1.5 gb limit) and second thing is what data has been gone from my machine.

I will try above suggested s/w and update u soon.

No, but ya my BSNL modem is a WiFi modem (nokia Siemens networks) . My plan is simple home 500C, and i am using lan cable and connection is saying connected through WAN Mini port PPPOE.

Give a hijackthis log here...
for the time being, download and install Spyware Terminator and enable H.I.P.S to advanced mode. It will show u everything accessing internet or a system process but it will become a headache when u will be installing a new program, so change it to Install mode at that time :)

Thanks, using above suggested s/w i am able to stop those activities in some extents Some of the viruses which i detect and remove are 360Eywtr.exe,360cn.exe,W32.Popwin ,gff6.exe,W32.IRCBot.Gen

One more question. Here my connection is "Using Bridge mode" (using dialer) .I remember previously it was PPPOE mode (always on). Is it related to my issue

Install Norton Internet security trial version to get rid of those problems with malwares
Norton tops in industry at removing malwares in already infected system
