tmfhost.exe

[Guled Mirreh]

Although all my security software (avira, Malwarebytes, Adaware, windows Defender) Provided me with a clean bill of health. I came across a file named tmfhost.exe at 1.1MB. Its not part of the standard windows files to my knowledge. I googled the name and there is only 1 reference to it in Hungarian I think. The only reason I knew of the file was because my Internet connection became very slow. Double checked my Sunbelt firewall logs and found said file was constant contacting 195.244.8.168:1311. It just seems to flood my upstreem connestion solid. not sure with what. I tried to revoke the read and write privileges ( under the properties/security tab) and my windows sidebar + my whole internet connection dies with no errors reported, just dead. Now my only remedy is to let it execute on startup as usual but to b;ock it at the firewall. Maybe you guys can figure it out. Possibly a new threat. Its too big to attach here but happy to email it to anybody interested.
