Ive gotten quite a few trojans over the past few days (about eight). I have no clue where they are coming from, but AVG seems to be able to take care of the problem.

Trojan Hunter says

Port scan
Port 5180/TCP is open (matches Peeper.120)

I don`t know what that might have to do with it, and heres a HiJackThis log:

You need to run a port monitor and find out which app is using port 5180. All trojon hunter is saying, is that Peeper.120 is known for using that port.
Go to this website http://www.protect-me.com/freeware.html and download the free Active Ports monitor.

Have Hijack This fix the following by placing a check in the appropriate boxes and selecting fix checked. Make sure all browser and all Windows Explorer windows are closed before fixing.

Any idea what this one is or does ?
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [InetCntrl] C:\WINDOWS\System32\InetCntrl\InetCntrl.exe
If unknown to you, select it for fixing.
Then find the file C:\WINDOWS\System32\InetCntrl\InetCntrl.exe <-- file
right click and check the properties.
What info does it give ? What does it say it belongs to ? Check a few different files in that same folder maybe.

Reboot and delete.

C:\PROGRAM FILES\Toolbar <-- folder

/

For some reason, there is no file on my computer called C:\WINDOWS\System32\InetCntrl\InetCntrl.exe

And yes everything is set to show all files, hidden or not.
