Our company was hit with a spambot (Win32 cutwail spambot) about 3 weeks ago. Through trial and error and some great help I was able to neutralize the spambot. During the course of working to defeat the spambot I noticed a wierd ip address on some reports

from our router. The IP address is 10.226.64.10 our internal network ip address is 192.168.XX.XX. I am able to ping this address and it replies but I am unable to locate it in order to get rid of it. I was told from a different forum, not on Microsoft, that

it was dropped there by a hacker. This is why I need to get rid of it. I have used Wireshark to capture packets when I ping the ip address but it doesn't tell me what it attached to.   Does anyone have any ideas on how to find it and rid it from our network?
