This connection automagically appear in my computer. I don't remember i touch any settings on my pc nor install thing as such. Problem now is I can't seem to remove it. On further probe to the advanced settings, 2 of my Azureus services was listed there. Is this some kind of malware or spyware thingy? How can I remove it?

Hmm hmm. I assume you are using Windows?

The "Local Area Connection on Linux IGD" "Type: Internet Gateway"
appears to have come from a Microsoft Windows Messenger Update. It
showed up originally about 04/16/04.
How to verify:
1. Launch Windows Messenger
2. Get online to you account and leave it active
3. Now got to Windows "START" button
4. Proceed to "Network Connections"
5. Right Click on LAN Connection Linux IGD and choose properties
6. There is one button in the lower right "Settings"
7. This opens "Advanced Settings"
8. You will see your IP address followed by a UDP and TCP port
9. Remove the checks from the boxes, save and restart.
10. Low and behold the "Local Area Connection on Linux IGD" is gone
with no problems.

Mod, I think this thread should go to support forum instead of Linux & Open source. It's appearing on my XP pc.

Stealer, the steps 1-7 match exactly. But it's not my UP address followed by UDP or TCP port. It's Azureus services running on xxxx port running UDP and TCP.

Moved from Linux & OSS
