Hi,

I have an XP machine which is making multiple connections to my domain
controller over epmap, is this normal? I'm concerned I have a virus, the
number of connecions keep rising and rising:

I've done a full virus scan, ad-aware and spybot and founf nothing, I've
also run hijack this and have pasted the results below:

Chris:

I suggest you download TCPVIEW from SysInternals --
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html

It is a free GUI utility that is similar to NETSTAT but is a dynamic GUI utility and will
show more information and not just a snapshot of what NETSTAT sees for that moment you
execute it.

I suggest using TCPVIEW on bot the XPCLIENT and the domain_controller. You need to examine
the activity of both the server and the workstation.

The HJT log did not indicate anything suspicious.
