adsbhub.exe was found in three areas under Users, on my computer. Last Monday, November 3 my telephone service was noisy, Internet not working, basically setting my Monday afternoon plans to ruin, I received a phone call from a webmaster who told me I was slamming his Web server with a Trojan, and he offered to help me fix it. It was the last thing I needed to hear at that moment, and I wish I hadn't hung up on him the way I did. BUT I had been running a BitTorrent of the GIMP Windows installer for a few days, and I looked in on my computer. Windows Defender was off, I was unable to resume it, scanned with Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10, downloaded the Microsoft tool and had to burn a CD on the affected computer to try to restart Defender. No luck with that.
Poking around I found the adsbhub.exe in my firewall, allowing it to listen on a port on the 4000 or 40,000 range as I recall. Read information on this site, and verify that it does not provide any information about itself, ran the program and it opened in a Cmd window and stated that it was listening on Port 4xxx or 4xxxx.
I deleted all three program copies, cleared its name from Windows Firewall's list of allowed programs. I ran CCleaner to clear everything from Temps cache and Recycle Bin, etc., and the CCleaner Registry cleaner found several illegal firewall entries and cleared them. I can run the backed-up Registry change and look and see if I can identify the port or ports involved.
I believe this program could be the Trojan horse that someone could send instructions for it to slam the web server I was alerted to. I hope I have that fixed. I have no way of knowing for sure.
I replaced Windows Defender with Avast! 2015 free AV. Windows 7 is going the way of Windows 95 through XP at year's end anyway.

UPDATE: Summary:
adsbhub.exe file size 85.5 kB
Listening on port 47806
Enters firewall rules entries in the Registry
Requests firewall access when run
Potentially a Trojan horse, purpose otherwise unknown
DETAILS:
I found another copy of adsbhub on the Internet, downloaded it and looked at all of its Properties, it is the same file, with 85.5 kB file size. I ran it, it asked for permission through the firewall, which I denied. It is a black text window with the words, "Listening on port 47806" and created some more illegal firewall rules entries in the Registry (CCleaner's Registry cleaner's definition). I cleared these out again with CCleaner.
Not flagged by Avast! 2015 Free AV.

MORE INFORMATION
I removed the file but I brought my issue to the attention of a friend, and he identifies the purpose of adsbhub.exe as a part of the SDRSharp project. (Connect a USB radio chip to the computer and connect an antenna, and it turns the computer into a wideband radio receiver and spectrum analyzer.) Adsbhub.exe is used for an air traffic monitor that then feeds data to a website.
He recommended I run adwcleaner, and I did find a lot of questionable products and scheduled tasks on my computer. After running this, the Windows Firewall exceptions list no longer showed the deleted adsbhub.exe in its list. I had tried unsuccessfully to remove reference to adsbhub from my firewall after removing it from my computer, but now the references are gone.
I am now of the opinion that adsbhub is not to blame for my computer issues.
One program removed by adwcleaner is a recent install of Notation, a program for playing Midi files. That may, or may not be the source of my issue. Only time will tell. Both my installation of this product and the infection are recent, but not necessarily related.

Last reported November 9, 2014, it is now December 19, 2014. Nothing new to report on issues that I described above.
I installed and paid for Advanced Fix, a computer scanner and fixer utility, and I think it took out my Diamond sound card driver's software for managing a mixer, sound effects and graphic equalizer. I reloaded twice from the CD by reinstalling the driver. Apparently I am free of my Trojan horse issue,
@Roger Karlsson, I really don't know the answer to that question, how the webmaster got my phone number. I could speculate and offer up a guess, but that would be of no value.
