Three days ago I received a Trojan Virus that Norton Internet Security caught and eliminated. Norton stated that no further action is required and quarantined the virus.
The next day, when reviewing my Security History I noticed that I had received messages every 3-6 minutes that "Unused Port Blocking Has Blocked Communications. Inbound TCP connection from 218.10.111.19 local service" Then the port number was listed.
I Used IPligence to trace the address and it came from Beijing China.
I called Norton and they indicated that it was the firewall doing it's job. (However, every 3-6 minutes is a lot In my opinion). They referred me back to my ISP. I told them that each time I come online I have the same IP address.
I called my ISP explained that my IP won't change and has been the same for a couple of days. They indicated that it should change each time I do a modem reset. I spend a couple of hours attempting to force a modem reset using instructions the ISP provided when I was on the phone with them. No luck. We also checked to insure that IP address generation was set on automatic.
Late last night I was able to get the IP to change, however within a few seconds it returned to the old IP address.
My questions are: Has any one had this problem or seen this problem following a Trojan?
Does anyone know of a solution?
I should state that I have run Norton virus scans several times and have also run the Norton Super Eraser from the Norton Website and nothing finds a virus present. Meanwhile my IP address is locked and the remote address continues to attack every 3-6 minutes.
