Call home ?

Now I have a question. After restarting my computer, for some reason I
opened up a port monitoring program I have.

There I saw an open socket, on port 80, with a remote IP that resolves to a
Microsoft address. It was in a TIME_WAIT state, and a PID of 0, which in
the processes, is System Idle Processes.

I DO NOT use Windows Update, and it is disabled.

This socket is being created by something at startup using RulDllAsApp.exe.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

DanS
