Hello Nello
I ran netstat and it first reported:
connections to two other nodes on my LAN
and 4 connections to my ISP: 2 saying TIME_WAIT and 2 saying SYN_SENT
the next 4 times I ran it, it just reported 1 ISP connection TIME_WAIT
The final time it reported 3 to my ISP, all saying TIME_WAIT.
I don't know if this is normal or abnormal.
AVG has failed to find any virus.
Thanks for your input.
