Can you advise how to really get rid of these Nortel VPN back doors while
still maintaining wireless connectivity to the Linkys home router?
I thought I removed Nortel VPN software on my home machine (a network of 1)
but when I installed a software firewall to bolster my Linksys wireless
router, I keep getting requests to connect to the software that I thought I
deleted.
NDIS Filter Intermediate Driver (eacfilt.sys)
has recieve a packet from the remote machine [192.168.0.1]
Do you want to allow this protocol driver to access the network?
NDIS Filter Intermediate Driver (eacfilt.sys)
is trying to connect to [192.168.0.1]
using remote port 53 (DOMAIN - Domain Name Server).
Do you want to allow this program to access the network?
NDIS User mode I/O Driver (ndisio.sys) has received a
Multicast packet from the remote machine [192.168.0.1].
Do you want to allow this program to access the network?
I tried saying "No" to these requests but then the wireless networking on the
Windows XP SP2 machine doesn't work. I tried deleting these two files but
again, wireless networking would not work afterward.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\eacfilt.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\eacfilt.dll
I thought I deleted the Nortel Contivity VPN Client as I had never used it but
apparently some vestige is laying around, for example.
C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation
Information\{big number}
Service = test
I don't have another system to test whether these are "normal" messages but
they seem like a weak link opening the machine to hackers.
