Good morning and thank you for your time. Your diagnosis has made my week, thank you. As for my computer being a printserver, the answer is no. I also do not recall having my machine set up for ICS anytime in the past. However I may be incorrect about this. Do you find it appropriate for the proxy to be a loopback address? Or could you explan whether it would be better to leave it alone or to change the proxy setting. The only thing I can think of is that the port :8100 looks familiar. Could it be tied to a ventrillo/teamspeak server or perhaps a gaming server?
I was once infected by some sort of application that was causing me errors and recreating 3 or 4 processes. Norton found it (yeah I had norton at one point, love AVG now though) but could not delete it. Everytime I would kill the program it would recreate itself and if I tried to delete it I would get an access denied message because it was in use. After about 15 minutes of back and forth with this I went into explorer and changed the program to run in win95 mode. This must have blown it's mind because the thing stopped running in my processes and then I deleted the *.exe that it was associated with. That coatbqs thing may be the remnants of it.
