Do you have anything web-server related installed?
If you see inetpud running in the Task Manager - check the corresponding executable. Does it have any version info set? (rightclick on it / Properties)

Hi bri,

If you have no need for it, let your computer not function as a webserver, Windows has Personal Web Server (PWS) on board, a kind of light virtual server, used to test your website, using FrontPage or Virtual InterDev, to see what it gonna look like. PWS can easily be on, and allow for outbound connections, just like a hardware server. The testsite of HackerWacker can show if it is running, you have to Shutdown Zonealarm to test it, after thge test off course you must start Zonealarm again. http://www.hackerwacker.com.
Inetput is the folder where the website files should be placed (HTML & ASP), nice I proposed XRayPC and you put it to your advance, surf safe, and welcome back to this great forum,

Hi bri,

With the same program you found here XRayPC, my dear friend,
click on the process go down and delete it there. Easy peasy.
But be aware, this program is only for those that know what they do, or do it guided by an expert. Just a question haven't you got it this way, see:

Hi bri

Sometimes you have to analyze, sometimes you have to alter,
and sometimes you have to replace running system files. We are not so easaly at loss.
The program to do this with is:

For those tweaking geeks replacer is  essential and can be used together with killbox. Get that from here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/killbox.php

Is the executable in the folder (which, when you delete, comes back), or is it elsewhere?
