FAQ : http://winpcap.polito.it/misc/faq.htm

Just to get things right:
- You are using windows?
- You know that you're supposed to install winpcap first, then install ethereal?
- You know that if you have a previous version of winpcap installed, you're supposed to uninstall it prior to installing the new version?
- You know that winpcap is used to capture network packets, and that ethereal is merely the tool to analyze them?
A little more info would be nice

One last thing.... The newest version of the promiscuous capture library doesn't work too well with Ethereal... Make sure you didn't install a beta of any sort...
Real security doesn't come with an installer.

Also want to know about internet what port are open, and what aren't.
i use Antiy Ports for that one.
Antiy Ports is a TCP/UDP Port-to-Process Mapper.
It can see a port open by which process, can query port info online, and can kill process. It is a free tool released by Antiy Labs.

Yea use 3.0 not 3.1, will work much better with the likes of Snort and Ethereal

Rajun:

I think you may be a little confused. Packet sniffing data off the network isn't going to go a long way to telling you what ports are open/closed/listening on your box. It also isn't going to do much for your quest in determining where the things you mentioned came from.
Typically, spyware, malware and viruses are the result of user interaction. In other words it's _your_ surfing/email habits that are getting this garbage on your machine. There are plenty of systems out there to help you find/prevent this kind of infection.
Is that the help you are really looking for?
