    Hey everyone, I've got a problem. SYSTEM is trying to connect to an obscure IP address on an obscure port. It's happened twice in the last few days, this time I took a screenshot and decided to make a post asking about it (and of course denied the connection.)



    Here's a screenshot:

    Without allowing the connection I really don't know how to see what's going on.



    Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Are you running any kind of P2P or Torrent downloading software? If so, shut them down and see if it still happens. That address is in Algeria.
