On a related issue, does anyone know for sure what logmein is trying to
do when it connects to their web site after bootup, but when the program
is not running? Is this a request for updates, which I'd want, or a way
of telling their site or others logged into their site, that my machine
is available to be connected to, which I would not want?
When I connect one of my machines to another with that service, they
have the name/number I gave them as identifiers when I signed that
machine up. So, I tend to agree with Bruce that this may be a fishing
attempt if you do not recognize the name/number as one you set for one
of your machines?

1. Is this a suspicious computer or does LogmeIn give numbers to the
computers?
What is the number? Is it an IP address (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn ?) can you post it?
Connecting through LogMeIn is a connection attempt; someone may be trolling you
for vulnerable systems. Crude but surprisingly effective given that many, many
idiots will just blindly click yes on any dialog that comes up.
