What version of Tor? What version of Windows? Have you changed your Tor configuration at all, e.g. are you a Tor server? If you are just a Tor client, perhaps there was a Tor server running on 218.46.74.116:110? There's no rule that traffic on port 110 will necessarily be pop traffic. But I don't think there was a Tor server at that address. If you were a Tor server, perhaps somebody tried to connect to port 110 via you? It's unlikely that this is a rogue or zombie Tor. More likely, it is a hyperactive anti-virus program. But, hard to say without more details. --Roger
