    Okay, I have been having this problem for about 6 weeks and I dont like
    things like this because they tend to indicate a total screw around
    with my connections tray and plus, anyone attacking my system and I
    like to let them have a surprise package in return. Anyways, I have
    traced the problem and it is definitely Yahoo Messenger. In the last
    update, they have something in there that constantly tries to call
    home. When you have Norton Installed, it stops it and places a report.
    That is why it is mostly only Norton users that see the problem.

    Simple solution, disconnect Yahoo Messenger completely and shut it down
    when not in use. When it is in use, you have to live with it until Yahoo
    decide to either remove the protocol or clean it up. Frankly,
    programmers are just too lazy these days.:aaa
