    Stunning Findings

    ok heres the deal, i whent to get on the internet this morning and found that my home page had been set to somthing like http://%6F%64%7A%71%74%74%2E%74%2E%6...?%61%69%64=420
    this sparked my curiosity. so i transilated it.
    well the web address turned out to be odzqtt.t.muxa.cc with a little extetion that i believe made somthing download to my comupter....
    When i WHOIS it, it came up as Muxa.cc (dhu)
    i then pinged it and got the IP: 207.68.172.246
    when i resolved this address it came up as mail.msn.com (what the heck???)
    Furthermore i pinged odzqtt.t.muxa.cc and got the ip address
    81.211.105.37
    i did not get a responce from pinging so i traced it... My packets were lost at a server in Africa.(i think maybe a firewall)
    i scanned the address and found a web server. i went to it but nothis is there....

    Can someone Plz tell me what i am seeing????

    Looks like you are seeing a spyware activity. I'd suggest going to look for HijackThis and CWShredder. Doing a quick google on muxa.cc got quite a few responses including this cached solution.

    A quick google search turned up quite a few hits of this (muxa.cc) showing up in "hijackthis" logs. It looks like you have been hijacked. You might want to check out:

    Hrmm.. Let's see:

    odzqtt.t.muxa.cc

    Domain servers:

    xx.muxa.cc
    http://muxa.cc has a MSN logo on it. Doing a traceroute does resolve it to a MSN address (see below). Off hand, I'd guess it's a business address perhaps?

    another great question would be if muxa.cc has a direct link to MSN.com would that mean that msn would be funding this highjacking tool??????

    Not necessarily. If the person who manages the website is paying for MSN to fund it, then MSN may not be aware of it. Perhaps you could forward this information to abuse@msn.com and see how they respond (believe it or not, Hotmail and MSN Security are actually pretty good about responding to security emails).

    Dear Abuse,
    This morning I was accessing the Internet when I noticed my start page had been changed to a coded address
    http://%6F%64%7A%71%74%74%2E%74%2E%...0?%61%69%64=420
    to which I translated to "odzqtt.t.muxa.cc" with a directory that downloaded some spyware to my computer.
    Upon further investigation I found that the IP address of Muxa.cc resolves to mail.msn.com
    When I traced the address muxa.cc the last thing that came up was vlan805.tuk2f-msfc-2b.us.msn.net.

    My question is "is MSN.com sponsoring a website that downloads unauthorized programs to its users PC's?"

    I await your response,

    Randy L. Warren
