    I have the IP of the remote computer so I was wondering it there's someone to report to who can the tract down the person behide it

    Here's my opinion, yes the IP address, can be used to track people down. Any communication over the internet is tracked by IP addresses. IMHO, if anybody cared, Spam would not exist because emails can also be tracked by IP by the ISP. Sometimes I wonder if it's actually the virus/malware or any other security software programmer that starts it all so they create more business for themself.
    That's why I asked. Your main concern is to get rid of the bot, (before it becomes worse) because personally, you can't do anything, your ISP can, but I can safely assume that they won't

    just had a though is it linkly to try use the same port on each effectived computer.

    If I understand your question correctly, the ports don't matter, there is only [1] IP per computer.

    I know that you can track ppl with IP thats why i ask. As there are ppl out hunting down crimals I was wondering who to send it to
