[QUOTE="Galadrium, post: 962282, member: 91632"] [USER=92525]@NewbyUser[/USER] Thank you for the suggestion, I will try WFC The reason why I'm sticking to Evorim firewall is because it has notifications whenever a new program connects to the internet. It doesn't leave you in the dark and let any program connect to the internet without notifying you. You decide what the setting will be once it detects a new program connecting to the internet (i.e. Allow/Ignore/Block). I'll also try Tinywall and see how it works. I think it is too much work to find the root cause of the communication. I don't have in depth expertise yet in malware analysis and can only see surface level activity such as network activity like this one. If you mean I'm going to try doing static or dynamic malware analysis on the program (i.e. look at its PE header, etc.), I have yet to train myself. I was thinking of blocking the connection and evaluate if there are any issues. If it does no harm, I will proceed with the block. If it does any harm, then I will reverse it and try to assess from there. [/QUOTE]
