I found this agent trying to reach internet through our firewall and i don't
know how to deal with this issue.

First neither Explorer.EXE:3:5.1 nor plain explorer.exe should reach
internet, i guess.

Why this program is trying to reach 217.5.248.20:65500 changing it's source
port every 10 seconds.

It have to be a Virus or something like that but my antivirus can't detect it.

Can any body give me a clue

Is this your ISP? I Googled for "Explorer.EXE:3:5.1" and got some links
mentioning FrontPage. Do you use FrontPage? If not, try scanning with
Malwarebytes' Antimalware program (free).

Thanks

No, i don't use frontpage neither none of my users, it have to be some kind
of virus, Panda doesn't detect anything.

I'll try some other software but i'm thinking it could be a rootkit possing
as the real explorer

Due to the tight bundling of IE to WinXP, Explorer can access the internet. Additionally,
malware can hook into the Windows Explorer process.


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28400/28470/Multi_AV.exe

http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
