I'm not quite sure about the port. I use dial up. When I'm online, IE connections settings show that a proxy server is being used with port 9022.
HJT says:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:9022
I'm not using the image of the OS with Avast on it at the moment. When I restore that image, I'll tinker around with Avast settings. In the past, I tried adding msn.exe, but that didn't seem to work. There's also the MSN accelerator and the MSN Connection Center.
MSNACCEL.EXE TCP Outbound (stream) 127.0.0.1 3967 65.54.155.20 32769 01:41:19 350 5121
Actually, msnaccel.exe is the only process connecting to an outside IP address at this very moment except for msnmsgr.exe (& another security suite that is currently installed for the moment).
I'm a bit in 'over my head' here. LOL I'm trying to make plans for the near future when I will be using Avast on a more permanent basis.
