[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 329993, member: 32547"] OK, thanks for the info. I haven't installed MADK. No idea what's going on. Apparently, it has run much more than I thought, going all the way back to 11-14-14. Looking over the log, I noticed a strange entry. Something about connecting to a host and it even mentions an amd processor with 4 cores. I have no such PC, and none of the PCs here have remote connections turned on. This log is huge on this PC, but I would love to hear an expert's view of what's in it. Makes me wonder if someone could be using DISM to try to sneak data off the PC. I wouldn't have known if they did. I mean, if it uses svchost to connect or something, I have that set to allow internet connections, because of the system ones. [/QUOTE]
