Try fport, track it back to the apps running on that port...that's where you
start.  Then scan those files and/or monitor traffic.

I haven't actually tested this on a compromised system before, but it's
worth a shot.

1) Get Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com
2) Run Process Explorer.
3) Right click the System process and choose Properties.
4) On the TCP/IP tab, locate one of the strange outbound connections and
then hit the Stack button.

Hopefully whatever driver or dll opening the connections is listed on the
thread stack.

Then again, if it's clver the thing could be cloaking itself. In that case
try Rootkit Revealer.

Good luck,

Ted
