Apps connecting to *.1337x.org

For some weird reason, Adobe Reader, SpiderOak, Firefox, and other Internet-aware apps are trying to connect what seems to be some sort of torrent trackers. I managed to find it in Online Armor logs. I'm baffled that all point to localhost address 127.0.0.1 plus some random port.

Could it be some backdoor going through?

Are you using any fix for MS Office? Cause I think one of it's fixes does that, but not 100% sure. Check your Hosts file too.

I've been using Office 2010 Toolkit v2.2.3 from MDL for a long time now; however, it only uses KMSEmulator.exe and port 1688.

Also, this is the contents of my host file

127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com

Additionally, this is one of the prompts I got from Online Armor

Clearly its some sort of malware> Just run MBAM and some CCleaner or else- such connections dont appear to be as what they are.

I also posted this in Emsisoft forums to see if they would also know this issue. Anyway, I'm currently backing up most files, steam games, drivers, and installers. Afterwards, I'll resume MBAM's scanning. If ever it didn't find anything, I'll finally do my very first reformat for my lappy.

I checked the site, and gotta say.. pretty f*n lame behaviour of an torrent site to plant some malware on their site.

You obviously have mistakenly clicked here:

If you do so,it won't be the .torrent download,but instead it will add infront of the .torrent url:

"http://www.1clickdownloader.com/download/product_download.php?fileName=http://1337x.org/download/xxxxxx/"

and then starts to download some downloadersetup.exe on your machine.

On my VM,I didn't even open the file,and then Online Armor starts to give me the same alerts as you got.

If you must use that site,don't click on that area but instead click on "Torrent Download" (see picture below)

I just backed up driver installers, to ensure their integrity.

I'll probably add more sites, so I can surprise porn surfers on me lappy being redirected to Microsoft.

I'll probably blacklist the site, and do the steps on a VM environment. I'm quite happy you managed to replicate to situation and find the solution. :)
