Hello All:

I have a PC running WinXPP directly on the internet. It is running the WinXPSP2 firewall and has all current updates. It is runing FSecure AntiVirus 2006.

Occationally I find that the time has been set to one hour ahead. Or the date has been set to one day ahead. Also lately I have noticed that the IE cache size is being changed from 1Mb to 675Mb. These things do not happen daily, maybe every one to two weeks (and they dont all happen at once, just one at a time).

Is there a virus or other malware that will do this? Or is there an intruder?

If it is an intruder how do I go about capturing their IP address when the pc is unattended?


Thanks,



PS: There is no imortant data on the pc it is just used for internet browsing.
