I'm a truck driver and a complete novice with computers and such. I'm hoping the wonderful (or even the not so wonderful) people of JREF might be able to advise me of my options in addressing this problem.
That is if it is a problem I can or need to anything about. Anyway, I just tried to register with a forum and received a warning that my IP was blocked because of infection by a "botnet". It wasn't me, I swear .....
It gave me my IP address and a link to 'The CBL'. I put in my IP and this is the first bit of the result.
Is my IP my computer? Or, is it the server ? Which I understand to be a large international phone company. I'm really lost here.
The time given above coincides with the start-up of a brand new tablet which I had this same SIM card in at the time. I don't know if that's relevant or not, but seems a bit coincidental.

IP Address ******** is listed in the CBL. It appears to be infected with a spam sending trojan, proxy or some other form of botnet. It was last detected at 2013-09-13 14:00 GMT (+/- 30 minutes), approximately 5 days, 22 hours, 59 minutes ago. This IP address is infected with, or is NATting for a machine infected with Torpig, also known by Symantec as Anserin. The infection was detected by observing this IP address attempting to make contact to a Torpig Command and Control server (C&C), a central server used by the criminals to control with Torpig infected computers (bots). Torpig is a malicious software (malware) used by cybercriminals to commit ebanking fraud and steal sensitive personal data, such as credentials (username, password) for online services (email, webmail, etc.). If you are running Windows XP, Torpig was likely dropped by Mebroot. Mebroot is a Rootkit that installs itself into the MBR (Master Boot Record). If you are running a newer Windows operating system, Torpig has been likely dropped by a second Trojan such as Andromeda/Gamarue or similar malware droppers. |
