I am not sure what type of virus I have on my computer, and I am not sure if this is the right site to ask this type of question on, but here it goes:
About a month ago I downloaded something i believe to be the source of my issue and most likely contained a trojan horse. i noticed some unusual activity from this program called peerblock - an IP detecting and blocking program that i use frequently. Unusual IP sources ranged from "Ministry of Defense" to "Botnet Russia" to "Limelight Co.". These attempted connections were all blocked from peerblock, but i still found it weird so i unplugged Ethernet and left it alone for a couple days.
After about a week, i turned my computer on and was greeted with this same spamming of attempted IP connections from these "botnets". I noticed my PC was much slower and and i began to get ad malware without even downloading anything.
A few days later, I noticed my laptop getting these same IP connections from Peerblock. These issues still occur and havent been fixed. i also noticed my phone acting strange too. I reset my HTC M8 to factory settings due to its constant shutting off, failed incoming/outgoing texts, and battery loss. This reset fixed the problem, so i decided to reset my PC, as i believed the botnet may have spread to my phone somehow and could be removed the same way i did on my phone.
So now here i am, 2 restores later, and my PC is still detecting IP connections from odd sources such as "Pakistan Education and Research Network" and "Telephia", companies i have never heard of. Also, my PC is shutting off at random times during use, which didnt happen before i reset.
However, i was required to reset to win 8.1 Enterprise evaluation edition as win8.1 pro cant be restored to factory settings. Could this be a reason to the random shut offs?
Sorry for the long question, but i really would appreciate an answer :) Thanks!
