"Agobot"

sexy.agobot.biz keeps on wanting to connect to the internet. I get a request every 10 seconds; and I don't know how to get rid of it.

I only formatted my machine a week ago, installed and configured Pipex, and downloaded mozilla... I haven’t been looking at dodgy sites, and I haven’t installed any file sharing programs, its just appeared out of the blue. I have a firewall, although my sister knocked it off for 10 minutes the other day - and I have a virus scanner - which is not detecting anything. I also have ad-aware which hasn’t got rid of the sexy.agobot.biz either.

Does anybody else have this problem, and more importantly does anybody know how to get rid?

Cheers

Quick update:
[B][I]I've managed to suss what the file name is on the process list.
its wuawx.exe i searched for it on the find files, but its not there so if i cannot find it, i cannot delete it. When i end the wuawx.exe process sexy.ago.bot no longer asks to connect.

I'll try that later,

I know who owns that botnet, lol. Find me online and I'll tell you how to get rid of the file.
