need help with strange web site running in background...spyware?

[Ecliptic]

all you network experts out there, please help:

It seems that I have a a tcp connection established to a unfamiliar site, even after I close all my internet browsers. There is constant network activity to and from this site and I cant seem to stop it. It is listed as eyenblaster-vip1.eyeblaster.sjz.navisite.com. When I type this site into IE, it wont load and says I am unautherised to view. Is this spyware? Please help.

You need to do the usual maint: Windows updates, run anti-spyware software. Check the startup tab in msconfig and remove any unnecessary programs.

If it is Spyware and Navisite.com would take it of its hosting service, it would be nice for every one.

However your real problem is to find out what is running unauthorized on you computer and clean it up.

These two utilities might help you in the process, http://www.ezlan.net/infestation#process

I would download a copy of Spybot search and destroy and do a scan to start.

thanks for everyone's help. I have nortons antivirus, spybot, adaware, and a rootkit scanner... but you can never be too careful. I just restarted my computer and it is not there anymore.... probably a bad site i visited that ran something in the background. I'll still email navisite to find out what that link does.
