Hi all,

I have a question regarding the System Idle Process.

I'm running Windows XP pro with SP 2, and after doing a netstat I've
noticed i always have a connection to:

a193-45-10-125.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com

After tracking down what they do i've discovered they are some sort of
massive proxy system for the planet, or something (not to sure!) but I
do know that the System Idle Process is making the connection.

This connection is always active, and have noticed network traffic go
mad when the PC is idle. I have checked fully with Spybot, Ad-aware,
PestPatrol and Norton to see if i've got any spyware\viruses those have
found none. I'm certian the PC is clean.


Any ideas?

Thanks,

John.

Active Ports to see the connection and Process Explorer to look inside a
running process to see what's using it.
