Trojan, virus ???

My IT man at work called me and said my computer was trying to send information to a website. The firewall was stopping it, but it continues to hit it. I've ran spybot, Norton AVI, went to MSCONFIG and check what running and can't find anything. It's trying to send to a address called box14.4421 It also says set.ahost.net.

I'm really stumped because I can find anything that is running that is sending the stuff out.

Any ideas?

Can you see what port the app(s) are trying to connect to? That will point you in the right direction in finding what virus/trojan has infiltrated your system.

I would first update my virus scan software to clean the system...
 
I think he said port 8088. I see if they will let me just the two recommend programs. It's on a government computer so they funny about stuff. Thanks for the help, I'll report my findings tomorrow morning.

Looks like the windowsupd2.exe may be the dirty bird. I removed it from the system and reg... i'll post back if it was it. NAV or the A2 didn't find it. I compaired my hijackthis to another pc in the office.
