I m having a very annoying problem.
After major instability problems with Adobe Audition together with longer bootup-time which i never had before i checked my system for any other culprits that may cause the instability.

At startup i have an instance of mozilla running although i didnt start it. So i guessed that somebody trojaned me. I killed the prozess to see what exactly would happen. As suspected it started up again. I renamed mozilla and killed it again and to my astonishment an instance of seamonkey popped up (seamonkey is the follow-up of the mozilla suite). So i renamed that and killed it also and so far no other hijack has happened.
To see where the trojan horse connected to i renamed seamonkey again after disallowing it in the firewall, it popped up again, and i got the following ip adress it connects to:

Ud74d.u.pppool.de (IP: 89.56.215.77) on port 3460

No virus-scan found something (tried 2 different programs and have bitdefender 9 running), tried spybot, used hijackthis, and then came to the conclusion that it s most likely a rootkit.
I tried all rootkit programs i could find, and either they crashed the system when trying to dump the system hive of the registry (stop 0x0000008e) error) or reported a read-error on the system hive...

I guess its a knew rootkit that manages to evade the scanners by crashing them / disallowing the reading of the system hive, but i havent found anything useful on teh intarnetz...

HEEEELLLP! Crying or Very sad

Before wasting too much time with the removal i would reisntall right away. This way you can be 100% sure that it's gone, or maybe you have an older clean image wich you can use.
