I have just installed Vista Ultimate and noticed that on startup it always trys to connect to several IP address on TCP port 6667.

one example;
TCP x.x.x.x:49249 66.252.9.95:6667 SYN_SENT

I have noticed this after checking my firewall logs and saw all the denied traffic on this port.

I ran several Spyware cleaners and also AV scans local and online but nothing was found.

Does anyone know what these connections are ???

Thx

Peace
 
6667 is usually IRC traffic. But IRC is also used for plenty of botnets and other trojans to communicate with their controller.
