avastsvc gets blocked trying access to 111.111.111.111

[thomasg76]

Hi!

I am running avast and malwarebytes on my machine. Today I noticed that avastsvc.exe tries to connect to 111.111.111.111. This seems to be a dodgy IP address in Tokyo and its changing to different ports in the 50400+ range.

Is my avast infected ?

All internet traffic is directed through the avastsvc.exe which is why you see only avast listed, so it is something on your computer that is sending outbound connections to that address.

See here http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=107952 and if necessary you'll need to discuss the issue at the Malwarebytes forum.
