Virus infected PC on network - how to stop

jskidd3 — Sun, 28 Jun 2015 22:53:28 GMT

Today I checked the Event Log in the BT Hub Manager for my BT Business Hub 5 and found something rather odd.

It seems that every few seconds a UDP connection was being opened and then immediately closed from our static IP at port 16660 that originates at my PC.

The first thing I did was Google port 16660 and check what it might have been associated with. The first page that showed was this, looks like malware named 'Stacheldraht' that perhaps makes me part of a botnet or something similar.

I ran a malware scan using Malwarebytes, found something but was unrelated, followed by an AVG scan that found nothing.

My PCs firewall is enabled, I don't know what would happen if I started deleting existing rules (not sure whether they'd respawn again so don't want to start throwing my hammer at it).

Here is what the log shows in just 20 seconds. Any ideas how to get around this? If I'm part of a botnet and have a trojan/malware on my PC that's not being picked up by two of the top anti malware/anti virus protection programs, what chance have I got?
