 Volker, the software that I mentioned included Bit Defender, Norton,
and a couple of other mainstream packages that simply did not
uninstall all of their components when they were uninstalled.

 When my nephews machine started having problems with some spyware
that came with his computer games, I used Erase to delete his entire
hard drive and then I installed a safe image made with Acronis. We
have had no more problems since then.

 Unless the malware that you described has altered my routers logs,
there are no unusual connections at this time on any of my machine.
