[QUOTE="509322, post: 587036"] What [USER=32547]@AtlBo[/USER] said. You want to search for connections within the assigned IP address range. Then you might be able to determine which program is connecting, but it might be a problem because of the GRE protocol. GRE is listed as the protocol in the ESET firewall alert. Look for GRE protocol in any reports - but it might not show up under the Protocol column. This is what I know about the GRE protocol: Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol network. [URL='http://searchenterprisewan.techtarget.com/definition/Generic-routing-encapsulation-GRE']What is Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)? - Definition from WhatIs.com[/URL] Have you considered calling Rosati's and ordering a pizza to get to the bottom of this ? Because what is presented in your OP provides an incomplete picture of the overall circumstances, and certainly "odd," my answer is only meant for your consideration - as a starting point. ESET has its own logging. There are enough ESET users here that you can ask them to assist you in digging through the ESET logs as well. Of course, if you begin to suspect something malicious, then ask [USER=6533]@TwinHeadedEagle[/USER] for malware removal assistance. [/QUOTE]
