Code:

C:\WINNT>ping -a 207.33.111.37

Pinging scan.sygate.com [207.33.111.37] with 32 bytes of data:

you probably told it to scan your pc for faults, if you manage to get trojens even tho you have a firewall, then you are getting them via emails probably, or files you have recieved from people. keep your virus scanner's definitions up to date, and your pc up to date on windowsupdate.microsoft.com
