audio driver connects to internet. is this a virus?
Author
hi all .
may be some of you knows why this happens.
after i install my audio driver one of svchost.exe's connects to internet and sends/reads some data .
but why .?
sometimes when i disable some services whic i dont need it stops.
or when i kill svchost which hosts that driver service.
ara anyone know a way to know which application/service reads/writes/send/receives some data via my hd and net.?
its asus ac97 driver /2003.
thanks.
My guess is that svchost is connecting to Windows Update to check if there is an update to the driver or system with the new driver installed. However, maybe you want to try packet sniffing to figure it out? If you can tell that svchost is sending and receiving data, it shouldn't be much more difficult to dump the packets being sent and received.
Hope that helps,
