Having used ethereal to determine why a PC kept waking from standby, I
came across traffic from a weird site. Its IP is *67.19.244.16 *which
resolves to http://there-is-no-messiah-for-israel.com/sitemap.php
Anyone got any ideas about what its all about? I am not aware I have
ever visited the site, and have checked for viruses and spyware.
First of all, an IP address resolves to a hostname, not an URL:
67.19.244.16 -> there-is-no-messiah-for-israel.com
As you didn't supplied the traffic and even basic information e.g. which
kind of traffic and which side initiates it, it's difficult to be
certain about the cause.
However, as you obviously didn't initiate the traffic and the system
won't do that too, I would guess this is a kind of virus / spyware or
something like that.
Please note: even if your virus (or malware) scanner reports nothing,
that doesn't mean that your system isn't infected.
