Hey guys.

If you find some fishy network address after punching in " netstat " in " cmd " how can I find out if they are ok ? And if they are not; how can I remove them ? My network is set to " private ".

well, to give you an address

well, to give you an address then here is one I do not know ; " ww-in-f113:http ".

I have windows vista home premium and my Internet server provider is called EJS.

As I am less than a rookie when it comes to analysing computer/network " inner beauty ", could whoever will reply to this thread not use too many complicated words, please.

Sincerely

Olis

That is NOT an

That is NOT an address.

Netstat tells you the source and the target for a tcp request. The source is a Local Address and the target is called a Foreign Address.

In this case the foreign address is shorthand notation for Worldwide Web-INcoming-from port 113 and the protocol is http.

This is NOT something you need to worry about unless you have a trojan.

The next time you do a netstat and get that Foreign Address, IMMEDIATELY do another

netstat -b (netstat space minus b) that will tell you what program is involved.
