help finding akamai-cluster.enta.net

The ISP is out of Great Britian. Even though a specific ISP is not listed, but instead it points to ADSL endpoints, if you suspect your PC has been compromised from the IP Address that you listed, you should email abuse@enta.net as well as hostmaster@enta.net

hi, thanks for the response! not sure if my pc been compromised or not.all i know is this akamai-cluster.enta.net is always on time wait state on ports 1000 to 1090 and ports 80 aswell.i recently did online ports check with shields ip and have stealthed only port closed,113 ident.mp pc is now fully stealthed.do you think this ip in question is just trying to put my connection out of service?and could some one also explain the time wait status thing to me please.thanks very muchbbest wishes to everyone.try shields up site guys.good port scan site.

Are you from the UK by chance? Running ADSL endpoints for NAT connectivity is nothing unusual there. Are you on any specific sites when you get these alerts?
You can attach a HijackThis log and we can see if anything looks suspicious or not.

hi, yes om in the uk.cant think of any specific sites i go on.i know i fell out with alot of modifiers on a game.they used to try to remotely connect to my pc alot.i believe may be one of them.ports 1000-2000 are commonly used trojan ports.need to know if time wait state in active ports programs means theyve mangaged to connect and also what listening state is.like i said my pc is fully stealthed including port 113 ident.many thanks man in advanvce.btw nice to meet ya and thanks for helping me out dude.what goes around comes around.best wishes.mi :) ke.

ok i got somewhere!!! akamai-clusrter.enta.net provides server functions for zone alarm pro,microsoft updates and other well known companies.thats why theyve been in my active ports program and netstat! great news! spoke to akamai myself today and got the info.i will post an additional thread in forum to explin about this company incase others as paranoid as me have been doing the same.the problem is with active port program it identifies then connections as unkown and doesnt put them in zone alarm processes,which it has in interface.well how about that.wohoo! not under attack after all.removed all blocks to the ips immediately and im 2 spring lighter today.just need to figure out who the rest of the ips that were connecting to me are.well have a nice day d ,thanks for the help.i know ill game that much easier online tonight.best wishes to y`all out there.and remember,better to be safe than sorry! lol man im relieved!! peace.

Oh man - for some reason I had no clue you replied after I told you glad I could help.

I'm glad you figured everything out though :)

Your logs dont show much for the record, PC # 2 you could fix this
