just reformat your computer!!! BEFORE ITS TOO LAAATE!!

Hmm.

Virtual Private Network. You may have hackers?

I'd recommend buying firewall software (Norton or Mcafee or find a free one from www.download.com) and not allowing that connection to your computer.

port 1723 is the VPN port, just block it and don't worry.

Unplug computer fron network/internet/modem and boot into DOS (use os cd)

type
format c: /u

it will get rid of just about everything on your hard drive

and reinstall windows

Or hows about just download sygate personal firewall , and spybot search and destroy, or if not repair windows
