not sure if this is in the right forum. when i try to download a file from rapidshare it keeps telling me my ip address is already downloading a file. it shows an ip address that definately isnt mine. this has only started to happen the last few days. it never ever used to happen. i have checked double-checked and triple-checked for anything suspicious on my machine and nothing shows up. i run ad-aware, spybot, spywareblaster, cwshredder, xcleaner from spywareguide (online), avg, miniremoval tool. i know about spyware, trojans etc as i have had plenty of experience of them over the years. i am 99.9% certain my machine is clean. i am always checking it. the only thing that was found was by cwshredder and that was a "cws.msconfig" that it deleted. i have checked msconfig and there is nothing in it that shouldnt be running at startup. i am not running a proxy even though rapidshare says i am and i am not sharing a connection with any other computer even though rapidshare says i am. lol is this a rapidshare problem or is there some new nasty spyware/trojan out there that im not aware of? many thanks for any replies
