SYSTEM Connection Attempt
Windows ME 4.9.3000
IE 6.00.2800.1123 AVG Antivirus Plus Firewall 7.5.448 Periodically a Dialog Box with the information below pops up after I have connected to the Internet. This will happen two or three times in a row and then I won't see it for about a month. I am guessing that it is some kind of upgrade attempt by Windows. My antivirus is active and scans regularly, the firewall is in place and functioning, I run Adaware and Spybot regularly and do not find any indication of a virus or malware. What is causing this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Application "SYSTEM" Is trying to establish connection with remote IP address 216.248.131.235. Do you want to allow this communication? Allow Deny This confirmation is related to a system communication and therefore a simple rule cannot be created in this case. If you wish to handle such communication, create a rule for system services and protocols using the System Service Rule Properties dialog. Application: SYSTEM Full path: SYSTEM Local address: localhost 1237 Remote Address: 216.248.131.235 : 80 Connection: TCP connection Direction: Out -- ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ When in charge, ponder; when in trouble, delegate; when in doubt, mumble.
