    What you describe is not a hack attempt or malware. For some reason your
    computer is trying to contact Verisign to obtain/check it's crl which is a
    Certificate Revocation List to make sure that certificates it issued have
    not been revoked. Certificates are used for things like signing applications
    and files to verify the publisher. More then likely your antivirus program
    is doing this. Your best bet is to allow that traffic through your
    firewall. --- Steve
