Wow, my base site at http://localhost works !!!
Second: windows firewall is in fact disabled.
Third: infection due to unsafe surfing which is history now.
Fourth: To reload. Complete Installation including FORMAT from a XP Pro
CD that included all of the updates thru SP3 on one CD. Everything else
reinstalled from disk copies I've kept over the years. No further updates.
Service: Residential. This is very low traffic. My email and download
traffic is considerable more. TIMING COINCIDENCE??? Maybe. I hate to
contact them and raise their level of suspicion.

Paul,
First of all I would check to see if you can bring up your site by
typing in http://localhost or http://internalprivatelanip your
external IP address is forwarded to the correct internal private lan
IP address like so:
External IP:80 > Firewall > Internal IP:80
Second thing I would try is to verify that the windows firewall is in
fact disabled, and all security applications are disabled.
Third, how did you get infected if you have a good hardware firewall
configured? Obviously you would have all all outbound allowed, and
only select services like http allowed in. This would prevent
malicious people from connecting to your machine. And call backs from
being allowed.
Finally, how did you install Windows XP Pro, did you reformat the
drive and start anew then applied all updates, and installed all your
applications? If you just installed over your copy of XP, then you
may have gotten infected again. I would try scanning with
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php.
I notice you use Road Runner as your ISP, are you a business
subscriber or a residential one? If the latter, then road runner may
have blocked port 80 for you since residential account subscribers are
not allowed to run servers.
Thanks,
Daniel
