I have Diamondcs program called Port Explorer that allows me to view processes, sockets, ports, etc. When viewing Port Explorer I'll see...
>
> Process.......SYSTEM
> ProcessID.....0 (zero)
> Protocol.....TCP
> Local Address....192.xxx.x.xxx
> Local Port.........3792
> Remote Port........80
> Remote Address.....69.20.59.119
> Country............United States
>
> Question...When right clicking the process I am not allowed to block the
process or block the socket. How do I stop this process?

> TASK MANAGER shows process "0" to be "System Idle Process" and does
not allow me to end the process.
> I have found "media.fastclick.net" and "Z1.adserver.com" in the remote address box on different occasions.

> I have Windows XP..SP1
> Norton Antivirus
> Zonealarm Pro
> Wormguard
> TDS-3
> RegistryProt
> Pestpatrol
> Spybot

All programs are updated and set using maximum sensitivity.. and all scans
show nothing. I don't have a clue as to what to do to prevent this
intrusion. How is it possible for System Idle Process to be used in this
manner? Your suggestions would be welcome!
Thanks,

System Idle process includes threads of programs that are "idle". It seems that this was internet explorer and the page you were browsing truthout.org

Don't worry

PS: You wouldn't want to end System Idle Proc's
