![]() ![]() its daughters computer so it is bound to be full of rubbish. So if it is set up for "Home Network" more ports are open and the VM connect through NAT on a public WiFi, the "Home Network" profile remains and in theory makes it more vulnerable. getting a trojan alert message from avast when browsing sites, not all the time but frequently. The problem with VMs through NAT is that its network profile won't change as it still see the VMNAT as the same network. But I recall that with Windows 7, you have the choice to choose "Public network" when connecting to a public WiFi such as in hotels/airports/etc. One of the best VMware submissions we received in 2017 was ZDI-17-921 / CVE-2017-4934. I haven't used Windows in a public WiFi for a while. However, since we introduced it at Pwn2Own, we started receiving VMware submissions through the Zero Day Initiative program and saw two successful VMware escapes at Pwn2Own 2017. On example is using VMs via NAT to surf internet on a public WiFi. It is not any more safe than using the host machine in some instances it might be even less safe. The "rules of the road" for internet safety/security still apply when using VMs to browse the internet. Whatever network connections you see in the VM through command prompt netstat, will show up as connections in the Windows host with as the binary executable involved in the connection using netstat -b in the command prompt (Admin). I am afraid it is more likely it is the VM(s) that are infected with malware rather than having a corrupted vmnat.exe. So, I am still worried that somehow VMNAT,EXE is corrupted somehow. Both were from my base OS Windows system, and I never use it to browse. The previous time the IP Address was 166.52.27.58. A lot of data can be transferred in 54 seconds. Infection:HTML:RedirMe-Inf Trj Action:connection aborted Process: C:program files (x86)mozilla firefoxfirefox.exe I hope someone can help me out. My firewall logs showed that a similar attempt was successful at about 11:30 that morning, for 54 seconds to the same IP Address. ![]() Yesterday at about 1 PM, Norton detected VMNat.exe attempting to transmit data to 104.28,1.101:80, and blocked the attempt, accusing VMNat.exe as the culprit. What it doesn't explain is the network activity. So, it seems that the Syswow64 version is the correct one - though VMWare perhaps could have cleaned up the old ones, and found a different place to put this application? (I have had VMWare Workstation for a long time, multiple upgrades.) All the certificates for those application files expired in 2010, and just feature SHA1, The Syswow64 version expires in 2026, and includes SHA256. There are 3 other VMNAT,exe files on my PC, all in directories that have the words "Duplicate Data" in the folder name somewhere. For Internet Explorer: Click the Tool icon and choose Manage Ad-ons. Step 2: Clean up all the unwanted homepages and search engines from your browsers. Sure enough, I couldn't get an IP Address until I started VMNAT,exe, and the service shows us as the Syswow64 version. Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs Find all related or suspicious programs to uninstall them. I stopped all VMWare Services, made them all manual Start, then started VMWare. ![]()
