Thousands of internet sessions from an XP Pro machine
A client of ours has one XP workstation that is attempting to open thousands
of internet sessions. This has the affect of flooding the network with unnessary traffic. This was causing the old Netgear router to crash and we have replaced it with a more sophisticated Draytek which has identified this XP machine as the source of the network traffic. We have put a restriction on their router to prevent this machine from opening up too many connections, which helps the other users on their network, but this machine needs to be stopped from doing this. I have used the usual suspects (Process Explorer, Auto Runs, AVG, MalwareBytes), but am unable to find the culprit on the machine that is causing the problem. Can anyone suggest other utilities, procedures to go through that might help. Other than rebuilding the machine? |
