  • reverse.softlayer.com in titlebar for PuTTY- fail to connect

For whatever reason when I open a session using PuTTY my connection times out.  The title bar shows

"174.36.236.29-static.reverse.softlayer.com - PuTTY"

instead of

"domain.com - PuTTY"

I'm connecting to!

Ran a full AVG scan on slow, rebooted, and redownloaded PuTTY.exe and it seems to be fixed.

According to:
https://www.trustedsource.org/en/feedba … amp;dummy=

Its a malware site.  What's weird is AVG didn't catch it.

Anyone else experience something similar?  I should had kept the old PuTTY.exe file to see if it was corrupted or perhaps there's another file somewhere else on my system that is modified?

Ideas?

Check the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file. It could be that domain.com has been linked to another IP
