Today i found a strange file on my Computer: The name was vsconfig.xml

the content:
_________________________________________________________
<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; ?>
- <securitypolicy version=&quot;1&quot;>
<lockupinfo server=&quot;147.208.130.167&quot; enable=&quot;true&quot; />
</securitypolicy>
__________________________________________________________

I have no Idea where it is belonging to. Has somebody ever seen this file?

The IP 147.208.130 167 is not assigned by IANA.

Very strange i think.

Do you have or had zone alarm? That could be it.. vs probably stands for virus scan
 
That is a possibility. About a year ago there was Zonealarm installed before Installed Norton Internet Security.

Interesting! Thank you crow053

Although there is no reverse DNS lookup for the IP address, if you ping the address it is up and operating. Not having a Reverse DNS entry is not the same as being unassigned. A simple traceroute reveals that it is part of intelonline.com's Class B domain.

I tried to access it, but was denied.

I have done the same and i found: The adressrange 147.208.130.nn belongs to Zonelabs. That means the assumption of crow053 seems to be ok.

There is only one thing: The adress is not registered in the Ripe-Database. That made first doubt to me if this is a serious Address.

When I queried the RIPE db I got the following:

inetnum: 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255
netname: IANA-BLK
descr: The whole IPv4 address space
country: NL
admin-c: IANA1-RIPE
tech-c: IANA1-RIPE
status: ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED
remarks: The country is really worldwide.
remarks: This address space is assigned at various other places in
remarks: the world and might therefore not be in the RIPE database.
mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
mnt-lower: RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
mnt-routes: RIPE-NCC-NONE-MNT
changed: bitbucket@ripe.net 20010529
changed: bitbucket@ripe.net 20020625
source: RIPE

which shows the status as ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED.

Anyone think to check with zonelabs?.....See quote below from zone alarm pro FAQ.

-----------------------------------------------
8. What is lockup.zonelabs.com?

Your dialer may indicate a destination address of lockup.zonelabs.com. This is a landing page with instructions for people who have experienced firewall hardening. Firewall hardening is a failsafe security measure built in to our products. If a hacker or malware attempts to directly assault ZoneAlarm, Plus, or Pro, the software prevents Internet access for any applications not already running. When this happens, the user's browser automatically displays lockup.zonelabs.com. Firewall hardening is rarely triggered, but when it is, it's important for you to know what has happened.
-------------------------------------------------

Looks like a reasonable explanation to me
 
I am no expert but I'm pretty sure I know what this is. I(zonealarm) found a file called explorer.exe trying to access the internet. I knew this ain't kosher cause why would Windows need to get on the internet. I searched my HD for the file and came up with it in c:/windows/system/ I tried to move it but it was in use by windows. I boot into dos and move it to my desktop. I go back to the system folder to look for others made by it, and find system.dbs and vsconfig.xml and fwlog.txt that were around it when I sorted by last modified. I take a look in system.dbs and what do I see? A key log of everything. I don't think zonealarm wants my passwords, I think it was trying to help. Delete all these files, they're keyloggers. PS, HND what P2P apps are you using? I'm interested to see where you got it, or where I got it :)
