Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

You have a responsibility to everyone on the internet to unplug it. It is has been infected by some virus. Someone probually has gained root access to it. This means that you have lost control of it. The first thing you need to do it get it off the internet, that mean unplugging the cable. I would also say that you will probually need to re-install after you make a backup of it. '

I am not sure what exactly that zombie program is doing, but I am willing to bet it is not doing anyone any good. Now when to say I can not unplug it, remember it is your responsibility to secure your PC. So it is your responsibility to stop it from attacking others. This mean unplugging it from the network.
