computer help: What is this? - Help.com

127.0.0.1 is a loopback connection. That means it’s a server which is installed on your own computer and is only accessible by you. By the looks of the URI: it appears that you have a server running php via some third-party application. I also notice the string “jswtrayutil” after “q=” which is probably a reference to the “Jumpstart Wireless Filter” process.

Just to be sure though. Download PULIST from Microsoft here: http://download.microsoft.com/downloa… Run through the setup until it’s finished. Now open up command prompt (WINKEY+R, enter “cmd”). Enter the following: pulist |find “4664″. This should help you locate the process utilizing this port. If it’s “jswtrayutil.exe” then I doubt it’s malware. If not then I suggest you open up task manager and kill it.

The command should be: pulist |find /i “4664″. The “i” switch is important.

so what happens if the malware running that particular loopback on my computer (it’s a reinfection, so I’m sure it’s a botkit and bootkit again) keeps terminating pulist before it can tell me what process is using that port?
