Was getting an alarming number of timeouts this morning where ashmaisv was trying to connect out to a certain address that I didn't recognise.
After seeing that my firewall was timing out with it I went to check to see the address of it.
After deleting my default email rule so that Kerio would prompt me with it I get this:
"'avast! e-Mail Scanner Service' from your computer wants to connect to adsl-213-249-185-149.karoo.KCOM.COM [213.249.185.149], port 110"
I've made up a series of rules specifically allowing Kerio to connect to my ISPs mails servers so nobody else is getting in or out but I really want to know why avast would try to connect out to someone I don't know... Email scanning is still working properly...
Any ideas? This is bugging me because I'm worried it's some infection, despite me running avast! in all it's forms, PGLite, Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5, K9 Spam killer and running Spyware checks all the time.
My two email accounts are from pipex.com and global internet (globalnet.co.uk)
I don't get how something could've come in...
