NEW VIRUS!??

[leesfriend]

Hi, is anyone else experiencing the same symptoms as myself today???
If you run netstat /a at the command line, you will see a list of connections to www.cipotato.org
netstat /b reveals that many different exe's are initiating the outgoing connection...

Please let me know if you are also experiencing this today - I have emailed samples of the exe's to Symantec and Grisoft so far but no sign of AVG Free detecting it.

Many of the connections are https connections. I suspect keylogger or spam worm...

Having the exact same problem this side. We've set the hosts file to point that address to route, but no explanation found yet.
