I just installed a piece of software to help me check my bandwidth usage. It has a reporting function, that gives a readout of:
Services (Top 10) consuming the most volume in current period:
of which one is 'Quake'
and
Target hosts (Top 10) consuming the most volume in current period:
of which one is '87.237.38.200'
They both have the exact same 'received', 'sent' and 'total' which is what drew my attention. Not to mention the fact that I have never installed Quake on this machine!
I googled the IP and to my surprise found that it was Eve! I also googled 'Quake' and found out that it is the name of a trojan. Fully updated AVG nor Spybot can not find any problems, but that doesn't mean didily-squat to be honest.
So, is Quake part of Eve and it is just a naming coincidence? Or do ya think I have a Trojan that is piggy-backing the my Eve packets? (if that's even possible)

Right, played some Eve, tracked the usage as reported by the program and they are both increasing by the same amount over the same periods when Eve is running.
Can you tell me for definite that there is a service with Eve that is called 'Quake'? Can you ask one of the developers who works on the part of the game that deals with this? I would like to know for sure that this isn't something dangerous that has somehow corrupted Eve.
Thanks.

No processes or services running called quake or remotely named as such.
The reporting tool is not specifically linking the Eve IP to the Quake service. What brought my attention to them was the fact that they both have the same 'sent', 'received' and 'total' values in terms of total data. One that after further tracking looks to be more than just a coincidence.

 Originally by: Orchid Ix
 26000 is the common port number for the game Quake. Most traffic logging software dub any traffic on this port traffic caused by the game Quake. There is no service or program on your computer called Quake.
The traffic you see is caused by EVE nothing more.
So 'Quake' is only the name that the tracking software has given the traffic on Port 26000? Which makes sense then, I haven't played BF2 or any other online game since installing the tracking software so it has only been Eve traffic being associated to Quake.
