repeated unsolicited connections to internet

Could everyone get back in their own thread and out of mine(original
"Repeated unsolicited connections to internet)? Mine is the one not
involving the long discussion on DUN, but does probably involve
installation of an HP printer. Have currently uninstalled the printer
to see what happens.

Nothing at all. That said, it has currently disappeared. It may be
coincidence, but it is since I uninstalled my HP printer


Twas probably a bad installation then. Might try
reinstalling it.

Hi, Ron,


Turned out not to be the HP printer. I completely uninstalled it,
including the parts left behind by the uninstall programme, and
cleaned the registry with no success (unless there are still parts
lurking somewhere)
What is happening now is that the computer dials out at 60 min
intervals starting from each boot (ie no specific time of day, so not
a scheduled task) and there are 3 things blocked in the ZA log, 2 as
FWROUTE and 1 as FWOUT.
Have now sent a HijackThis log to the aumha people.

Tom

Lots of programs have a dial home feature and will automatically check for
software updates. Look at the HP software and see if there is an automatic
update feature in its options.

Well, it wasn't the printer. I uninstalled it and it made no
difference. Neither has anything else I've tried since - uninstalled
RealPlayer and lots of other things.
