Looks like someone trying to get into your computer, Johan. If you don't have a firewall, now would be a GREAT time to install one. Do nothing banking or seriously personal until you get this sorted.

edit: in fact, I wouldn't risk it at all. If possible, back up your important documents, and wipe your hard drive and do a fresh install of windows. Some of these viruses disable your safety features, which allows EVEN MORE to come in, and its just a big mess. Really recommend just sucking it up and spending the afternoon wiping your hard drive, sorry.

Nah, doesn't mean someone is sitting a computer directly hacking you, just means a program is bugging your computer. Even if you managed to trace it, theres still almost nothing you can do about it haha.


I got DDoS'ed a few months ago. I had full IP address of person doing it, IP of the location of the DDoS (same owner), an email of this person admitting it, and other super careless "evidences", guess what happened? Not a damn thing. Don't waste your time.
