Hi,

I just did a TCP scan and found the following line.

svchost.exe:1028-TCP-home-pc:1082-8.255.65.254:http-ESTABLISHED

svchost.exe has an active connection to IP, 8.255.65.254. Data is being
transferred. I did an IP lookup for the above IP but did the results
didn't make sense.

I use Windows XP (SP2 - complete with all updates as of yesterday). I
depend on ZoneAlarm for AV/FW. Autoupdate for XP & ZA are on.

This could be a false alarm with Windows downloading yet another batch
of updates. Can someone please tell me if this is the case?

Thanks,
Sherry
