    Thanks.  Then that means you are infected.  Those other machines are making
    TFPT requests to you because you hit one of their backdoors to make it
    request admin.dll from you.  So, you are the attacker in those cases.
    
    The directory requests coming to you are coming from other infected
    machines.  So, you are the target in those cases.
    
    You're infected!  Time to clean up.
    
    Jimmy
