Default SYSTEM Connection Attempt

Do you have anything wireless?
Is that firewall part of the AVG?
I would likely keep at it until I found an answer.
Port 80 has a legitamate use. I think Winamp has an option to use it with
proxy.
Somewhere there is a list of what each port is used for, legitamately, which
might give a hint.
Does your firewall give any more details, such as files involved. ZA has a
feature that will check for changed files trying to access and close the
door when necessary.
If running a hardware router/firewall, you might check the logs there as
well, but if you have already been slipped a trojan, deny is best until you
figure it out.

You're right, of course, and that's what I do. I was just trying to figure
out who or what was trying to be connected to my computer.

Thank you

If you have no idea why the SYSTEM is attempting to connect to the DNS
listed, then deny it.
