How to block an IP address
Hi,
My problem is that my computer keeps sending data (packets) to this IP 128.121.232.21. I used Neotrace and traced it and it says it is from a Company called Verio, Inc.
I scanned my HD with Ad-aware6 and it didnt find spyware. I scanned it with my AV and it finds nothing either.
What can I do to make my PC stop sending data to this IP.
Thx in advance.

(1) Registry cleaning
If you can't find it with Ad-Aware - which is very good or Spybot - then you may have to resort to manually looking into the registry
Start -> Run -> regedit
Back up your registry file first before doing anything else - by Selecting the "Export Registry" option - just save the info to a file called "Dec2003-reginfo"
Then do a search for "128.121.232.21"...........and see if it turns up in any registry keys. If it does delete these registry entries.
Another good tool for cleaning is Track Eraser - www.acesoft.net which cleans out the registry as part of its process
(2) Null route
You can manually add a route into your PC's routing table to point to your internal loopback address - by using the " add route command thus
route add 128.121.232.21 mask 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1
