Windows Usenet Topics on Windows All Updates

..n.. ..

Hi.

I've installed a firewall on my server and I can see SVCHOST.EXE connect to
IP addresses that look "weird". For instance, my firewall reported SVCHOST
wanted to connect to "mail.lamediatheque.be" (194.78.106.1) on port 80! It
is definitely *not* a Windows Update web service.

I have installed the latest security hotfixes and this installation of
windows has never been in trouble with viruses of any kind: my anti-virus,
AVG, is always up-to-date with the latest virus patterns and I even made a
scan from a remote machine and found no know sources of infection. Hence I
consider my machine is safe.

Can some one confirm whether WUAUSERV is generating IP addresses to find a
local Windows Update web service in the country I reside (I live in Belgium)
?

Thanks in advance.
