I've been looking at the traffic in my wireless network and something checks the webpage login.fric.cn every more or less every minute, i went there and there is only a button that takes you to microsoft but I dont think it's a microsoft thing... Does anyone know what it is? thanks
Welcome to AO!
try going to start > run > cmd
and type 'netstat -a -b' and push enter... [minus the quotes] that will tell you your outbound connections and the executables associated with them... hope this helps...

Another program that you can use is from mcrosoft called Port Reporter. This will install only as a service that will log all loaded files in memeory when a socket is opened. We use this as a tool to see what is happening to servers when they are sending out goofy packets.
Here is the MS webpage http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
thanks a lot, I think I'll use Port Reporter since I don't think the socket keeps connected after it checks that website.
some additional sites resolve to the same IP
http://hphosts.mysteryfcm.co.uk/?s=login.fric.cn
and it appears on a blocked sites list here

i'd say your first step is to set your firewall to block inbound and connections to fric.cn
rule of thumb...anytime you see unexpected connection to servers in china (.cn) russis (.ru) and a bunch more ...i'd assume you are compromised in one fashion or another...
i'd get http://www.sophos.com/products/free-...i-rootkit.html and run it..
and I'd be running anti spyware of your choice (i recommend blink from eEye..it has found stuff nothing else found...it's about 50 bucks but also prevents phishing, and -prevents- spyware, not just detecting and removing. Also protects against zero days

you can use command line utillity "fport"
This is the same information you would see using the 'netstat -an' command, but it also maps those ports to running processes with the PID, process name and path. Fport can be used to quickly identify unknown open ports and their associated
Hi there... That is indeed malware. I found that domain in one of my snort sigs.
That domain has been linked to Cool Web SearchQuote:
alert udp $HOME_NET any -> $DNS_SERVERS 53 (msg:"SPYWARE-DNS DNS lookup fric.cn

Download and run CWShredder in safe mode. (don't forget to disable system restore)

BTW: It doesn't look as if the domain is still up and running...
When you went there... if you tried going there with IE and had your default search set to the microsoft search, they'll redirect you to a microsoft search site when the browser could not resolve the ip of the site. (because it appears to be down.)
fric.cn doesnt work but login.fric.cn does.
Not sure why... but I'm unable to resolve either login.fric.cn or fric.cn. No ping, no tracert, etc.Quote:
The only thing I can find is a little bit of whois info. Not much at all.

When using IE, if you can't resolve the IP, IE will redirect you to your default search provider.
The default search provider is microsoft. (I have changed mine to google... so I get redirected to a google page.)
So, the reason you could be seeing microsoft when you try to visit that site is because you're being redirected. But, who knows. I don't have your eyes and can't see what you have on your screen.
I am using Firefox, maybe it only accepts some IP's...? If I telnet into port 80 and write something i get this:
